This Warehouse Manager completes the Material Transfer by confirming the quantity of materials which have arrived at his or her warehouse.
To confirm material receipt:

- Enter the quantity received for each material in the QTY Received column. Note: This number may differ from the requested quantity.

To confirm material item receipt:
- Open the relevant transfer card by navigating through the Transfers dashboard.

Canceling a Transfer
You can cancel a transfer as long as the destination warehouse has not received it. This means that both pending and in-transit transfers can be canceled.
There are two ways to cancel a transfer:
Option 1:
- In the Transfers dashboard, locate the transfer you want to cancel.
- Scroll to the Actions column and click the Cancel icon.
Option 2:
- In the Transfers dashboard, locate the transfer you want to cancel.
- Double-click the row to open the transfer card.
- Go to the Materials tab.
- Click the Cancel button.
Deleting a Transfer
You can delete pending transfers, as they do not affect stock levels.
- In the Transfers dashboard, locate the pending transfer you want to delete.
- Scroll to the Actions column and click the Delete icon.
Canceling Received Transfers
If a transfer has already been received, canceling it may require creating a return transfer.
To reverse the transaction, create a new transfer record and select the appropriate WH From and WH To to reflect the return.
