Transfers
Transfers represent the movement of spirit within the system. When a Cask/Container/Vatting is filled a transfer is created with the corresponding vessel as the destination and when it is emptied a Transfer is created with the corresponding vessel as the source.
Usually, Transfers will be created in context when performing operations such as filling a cask or regauging a cask.
Transfers can also represent the movement of liquid not just to other vessels but also for the following reasons:
- Record Variance
- Maturation Losses (this reduces the measures of the vessel but maintains the cost so the cost per litre increases)
- Operational (this reduces the measures of the vessel but maintains the cost so the cost per litre increases)
- Write Off
- Writes off the value and reduces the measures
- Removal
- Represents the liquid is no longer in stock, usually done when a cask is checked out of stock.
- Imported Transfer
- Used for importing data, usually pre-system data.
