Goods in transit belong to neither side

Short answer

A transfer leaves one warehouse and arrives at another, and in between it is in transit — not available in either place. Counting it at both ends is how a company oversells stock it cannot ship.

In transit is a state, not a rounding error

If a transfer reduces the origin on dispatch and increases the destination on dispatch too, the goods exist twice for as long as the journey takes.

Treating transit as its own state means availability is always what can actually be shipped today.

Frequently asked questions

Is stock in transit sellable?

No. It is counted as in transit and becomes available when the destination receives it.

Does a transfer affect revenue?

No. It is a movement between locations, not a sale.
