Use Requisitions to record stock movement between inventories
In This Article:
- FAQs
Stock requisitions allow users to request stock from another outlet, which must then be actioned by the supplying outlet. This adds control, traceability, and authorisation to internal stock movements.
⚙️ Settings & Configuration
Before using requisitions, the following must be in place:
- If the 'Auto confirm stock requisitions' setting (Settings > Inventory > Preferences) is set to 'Yes' the transfer will be processed automatically, immediately depleting the stock in the FROM inventory, and depositing it into the TO inventory.
- If that setting is set to 'No' the site receiving the request (the FROM inventory) will need to accept it first.
- You will need to ensure you apply the Stock Requisition Options setting (in Settings > Inventory > Stock Requisition Options). This is to determine which Outlets each site can place Requisition Requests with.

❓FAQs
Why can’t I raise a requisition?
Make sure requisitions are enabled in your business settings and that your user group has the correct permission enabled via System > Team > User Groups
. Check that the outlets are shared under inventory setting.
Can I edit a requisition after it's raised?
Yes — until the supplying outlet issues the transfer, you can update product quantities or remove items.
