Fixing a problem

…: only … free at the source branch, … requested

The branch sending the stock has less free than the transfer asks for, so Kila will not approve it. Ask for what is free, or wait until more stock arrives there.

Bottled water 1L: only … free at the source branch, 500 requested. Reduce the quantity or wait for stock.

Approving a transfer reserves the stock at the branch that sends it, so nobody sells it while it waits for the van. The sending branch has less of the product free than the transfer asks for. The transfer’s lines show how much is free there, under Free at and the branch’s name.

A transfer from Head office to Mombasa branch asks for 500 bottles of water, with fewer free at Head office. After Approve and reserve (2): That did not go through.

  1. Read the free quantity on the transfer’s line.
  2. Tap Cancel on this transfer, and ask again for a quantity the sending branch has free.
  3. Or leave it as it is until more stock arrives at the sending branch, then tap Approve and reserve again.

Stock that is reserved for other transfers or orders is not free. If the shelf has more than Kila shows, the count at the sending branch needs correcting: see Count stock.
