Multi-location inventory tool
Compare an internal stock transfer with a supplier purchase using direct cost and expected availability.
This calculator compares the entered cost of moving available stock from another location with the entered cost of purchasing the same units. It also shows which option arrives sooner. It does not price the stockout risk at the source location.
