# Main storage vs branch storage: how do I move stock between them?

> What master and branch storages are for, and which order moves stock between them.

**Short answer:** stock is bought into the **Master** storage and used from **Branch** storages; move it with a **Master Distribution**, **Return to Master** or **Internal Transfer** order saved as **Completed**.

**1. Create your storages**

Go to **Inventory → Storages** and click **New Storage**. Tick **Master Inventory** for the main store. Leave it unticked for a branch storage and choose its **Branch**.

**2. Select the items to move**

On the **Items** or **Stock** page, select the items, then click **Orders**.

**3. Choose the right order**

**Master Distribution:** master to branch. **Return to Master:** branch back to master. **Internal Transfer:** between two branch storages, or two master storages.

**4. Save as Completed**

Fill in the amounts and storages, set the **Status** to **Completed** and click **Create**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Only Completed moves stock**, and a completed order can't be edited or deleted. Choose Completed only when the goods are actually moved.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Materials used in treatments are always taken from a **branch** storage. **Master Inventory** can't be changed after the storage is created.
