Draft State for Store Transfers & Store Usages in Inventory

Gain full control over editing store transfers and usages before approval with the new Draft state in Inventory.

​

💼 Business Value

• Prevents premature approvals or rejections of incomplete entries.
• Allows team members to prepare and finalize documents at their own pace.
• Improves accuracy and audit readiness by introducing a controlled workflow.
• Reduces back-and-forth corrections post-approval.

​

🎯 Use Cases

• A cost controller starts a Store Transfer but needs stock count confirmation before submitting.
• A storekeeper enters multiple line items in Store Usage and requests that management review them before approval.
• A new employee saves incomplete usage data but ensures it doesn’t move forward for review or execution.
