Transfers & Scrap

Move stock between locations and manage stock disposal.

Helium provides tools for moving stock between warehouse locations and for disposing of damaged or obsolete inventory.

Warehouse Transfers

Warehouse transfers move stock from one location to another within your organisation.

When to use transfers

Consolidation — Moving stock from one warehouse to another
Rebalancing — Distributing stock more evenly across locations
Facility changes — Relocating inventory when changing warehouses

Transfer workflow

Create a transfer

Navigate to Operations → Warehouse Transfers and create a new transfer. Select the source location (where stock is coming from) and destination location (where it's going).

Add items

Add the products and quantities to transfer. The system validates that sufficient stock exists at the source location.

Process the transfer

Confirm the transfer. Stock levels are adjusted at both locations — decreasing at the source and increasing at the destination.

In-transit tracking

During a transfer, stock may be temporarily in transit between locations. The inventory page reflects this movement in real time.

Scrap

Scrap manages the disposal of damaged, expired, or obsolete stock that can no longer be sold or used.

When to use scrap

Damaged goods — Items damaged during storage or handling
Expired products — Products past their use-by date
Obsolete stock — Items no longer in your product range
Quality failures — Items that fail quality inspection

Scrapping stock

Navigate to Scrap

Go to Operations → Scrap in the sidebar.

Select items to scrap

Choose the products and quantities to write off. You must select the location where the stock currently resides.

Provide a reason

Enter a reason for scrapping. This is important for audit trails and identifying recurring issues.

Confirm disposal

Confirm the scrap action. The stock is removed from your inventory and the write-off is recorded in the system.

Irreversible action

Scrapping stock permanently removes it from inventory. The record remains for audit purposes, but the physical stock should be disposed of appropriately.
