How to Create a Stock Transfer Between Locations
This user guide provides step-by-step instructions for transferring stock between different locations of the same Med SPA clinic. Products available at one Med SPA location can be transferred to another location where they are in short supply.
Understanding Terminologies
Stock Transfer
Stock transfer refers to the process of moving products from one location (e.g., a Med SPA branch or clinic) to another. Stock transfers are used to redistribute supplies, such as skincare products, injectables, or equipment, between locations to ensure each site has adequate inventory. This helps maintain balanced stock levels, preventing shortages at one location and overstocking at another.
Add a New Stock Transfer
- The user can transfer stock between locations by navigating to the “Products & Inventory” App from two entry points.
- To add a new stock transfer, click "New Stock Transfer" in the top right corner of the screen.
- Select the “From Clinic” and “To Clinic” locations from the dropdown menu.
Note: The “From Clinic” location is the Med SPA branch from which the stock will be transferred, while the “To Clinic” location is the destination where the stock is to be transferred.
- Select the “Logistic Type” to determine how you want to transfer the stock. If the “Shipping Provider” option is selected, enter the “Provider” name and the “Tracking Number” for the shipment.
Note: A ‘Tracking Number’ is a unique identifier assigned to a package, shipment, or order that allows its location and delivery status to be monitored in real time. It helps track movement from the sender to the recipient through a logistics or courier system.
- If you want to transfer the stock through a responsible employee, select the “Responsible Staff” option and choose the staff member from the dropdown menu.
- Click the “Add Product” button to select the products for the stock transfer.
- Search for the “Product” from the dropdown menu and enter the Batch Number.
Note: You can add as many products as needed for the stock transfer.
- Enter the Stock quantity that needs to be transferred for that product. Click “Create Stock Transfer” once all required details have been entered.
The stock transfer has been successfully added!
Edit an Existing Stock Transfer

Note: The stock transfer can also be edited by clicking the "Edit Stock Transfer" button in the top right corner of the View Stock Transfer Page.
Check the Status of Stock Transfer
- To check the status of your stock transfer, go to the Stock Transfer tab and review the status indicators in the top scopes bar for the latest updates.
