This article covers an overview of the "Restock" & "Stock Transfer" Functions and how it is used within SmartPOS.

The Restock function allows an authorized Operator to enter Product Restocks from SmartPOS Workstations.

The Stock Transfer Function is very similar to the Restock function.

The key difference is that for a Restock, the To Venue and the To Store are preset to be the Workstation's Local Store; for a Stock Transfer, the Operator can select any To Store and any From Store that they have access to.

This function is used to Transfer Stock from the Local Store to another Store rather than to receive Stock to the Local Store.
