How a move is picked
Three tests, all at the till.
The sender has not sold the line in six weeks. The receiver sold the same barcode in the last two weeks and holds under one week of cover. Both tills know the product under the same code, so the move books cleanly.
The other five lines
No buyer, so no move.
£110.10 of dead stock sells at none of the three shops. Moving it just moves the problem. Those lines belong on the stock and gaps list for a markdown or a delist decision.
Transfers are suggestions, never automatic. It recommends. You decide.
