Stock transfer in ReflexBlue

The Stock transfer function in ReflexBlue assists users with various logistical operations within a warehouse or production environment. In this section, we explain why this function is important, which operations are supported, and how ReflexBlue collaborates with the Flex 3000 and Flex Mobile applications to make these operations intuitively executable.

Common reasons to move stock

Moving stock is more than just physically relocating products from location A to B. It’s an essential part of inventory management that contributes to efficiency, quality, and traceability.

Below we describe some key situations where stock transfers are necessary:

1. Internal logistics: Moving stock within the warehouse

   • For example: Moving boxes of products to a dispatch area for easier order picking.
   • Need: More efficient order picking, fewer walking routes, better space utilization.
   • ReflexBlue helps: By recording quick location-to-location transfers, with or without batch information.

2. Change of condition or status

   • For example: A product is frozen and needs to be stored as ‘frozen’ at a different location or recorded under a different item number. Or cheese that transitions from ‘young’ to ‘mature’, ‘aged’, or ‘over-aged’.
   • Need: Correct registration of physical and administrative changes.
   • ReflexBlue helps: By recording transfers from one item to another, including batch changes.

3. Spoilage and rejection

   • For example: A batch of tomatoes is partially spoiled and needs to be set aside for destruction or processing.
   • Need: Transparency in quality management, correct recording of loss.
   • ReflexBlue helps: By moving stock to a separate location or item status ‘spoilage’.

4. Splitting or merging stock

   • For example: One large batch is divided for distribution, or smaller batches are merged into one.
   • Need: Accurate tracking of stock and production planning.
   • ReflexBlue helps: Through batch selection and transfer by quantity or weight.

5. Moving stock to quarantine or inspection

   • For example: A delivery does not immediately meet quality standards.
   • Need: Control over the stock release process.
   • ReflexBlue helps: By quickly moving to a quarantine location and maintaining an overview of the status.
