Use this section to view and update Stock Transfer lines. This shows essential information, and also allows for the following actions:

### Add new Stock Transfer line

Search for products to add to the Stock Transfer.

<p class="callout info">This is only possible on Open Stock Transfers.</p>

### Receive lines

Enter a number of items to receive. You will also need to select the destination stock location; this is where the goods will be added.

<p class="callout info">This is only possible on In Transit and Received Stock Transfers</p>

<p class="callout info">You can also do this on the [Goods In](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/goods-in "Goods In") screen</p>

### Reject lines

Use this option to reject units of stock. Select a reason and enter a quantity.

<p class="callout warning">Please ensure that before taking these actions, you investigate the matter with the appropriate individuals in your company to confirm exactly what has happened and where the stock actually is.</p>

<p class="callout info">If you are sent an item that is not on the Stock Transfer, a new one must immediately be added, as it is not possible to over receive stock on a Stock Transfer.</p>

#### Return to sender

Use this when you have more items than required.

This will receive the stock into your current Store and immediately create a new Stock Transfer; the destination Store on the new transfer will be the source of the original.

#### Not sent

Use this if an item is missing from your shipment.

This will immediately add the unit of stock back into its source Store and Location.

#### Lost in transit

Use this if an item is lost or destroyed.

This stock will be removed from the system, and an entry will be added to the [Stock Discrepancy](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/stock-reports/page/stock-discrepancy "Stock Discrepancy") report.
