# Stock Transfers

> Move stock from one location to another without a sale or purchase.

A **Stock Transfer** moves stock from one location (branch) to another — no sale, no purchase, just relocation. Stock decreases at the source location and increases at the destination, at the same value.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I see how much stock arrived at the destination afterward?">

  <Accordion title="Does a transfer affect my overall inventory value?">
    No — the total value of stock across all your locations combined stays the same; it just moves from one location's balance to another's.
