# Transfers

The **Transfers** feature lets you move assets from one location or department to another. Track the full transfer lifecycle from initiation to completion.

***

## 1. 📍 Access Transfers

**Navigation:** **Assets** → **Transfers** from the sidebar.

***

## 2. ➕ Initiate a Transfer

### Steps

1. Click **New Transfer** or **Initiate Transfer**
2. Select **Asset**
3. Select **From Location** (current — optional, can be auto-filled)

5. Optionally: **From Department** and **To Department**
6. Enter **Quantity** (default: 1)
7. Set **Transfer Date**
8. Add **Reason** (optional) — e.g., "Office relocation", "Department reassignment"
9. Add **Notes** (optional)
10. Click **Save**

### Initial Status

* Transfer is created with status **Pending**

## 3. ✅ Complete a Transfer

When the asset has physically arrived at the new location:

1. Go to **Assets** → **Transfers**
2. Find the transfer with status **Pending** or **In Transit**
3. Click **Complete Transfer** or **Mark as Received**
4. The system records who received it and when

### What Happens on Completion

* ✅ Asset's **location** is updated to the new location
* ✅ Asset's **department** is updated (if specified)
* ✅ Transfer status changes to **Completed**
* ✅ Audit log and webhook `asset.transferred` are triggered
