Who this is for: Anyone requesting a NetSuite inventory move or adjustment, and the warehouse team who reviews and posts them. (“NAM” = the warehouse/inventory function.)

The whole flow: submit a transfer, bin transfer or adjustment → warehouse reviews → the movement posts to NetSuite (or a reviewer reconciles one created by hand).

Step 1 — Pick a type

Click + New NAM Request. At the top, the TYPE toggle switches the whole form:

• Inventory Transfer — move stock between regions: Region from → Transfer to, From bin → To bin, then the items and quantities moving, and a reason.
• Bin Transfer — move stock between two bins of one warehouse: Region, From bin → To bin, then the items and quantities. Nothing leaves the building, so there's no destination region and no per-item direction — the bins are the direction. This is how stock crosses between regular and Direct Pay (Lightreach) inventory.
• Inventory Adjustment — add or remove stock in one place: Region, Bin, then the items, quantities, and — per item — whether it's Adding or Removing, and a reason.

Transfer — note the Transfer to and To bin fields.

NAM — Inventory Transfer, filled, with two item lines.

Adjustment — a single location; each item row carries its own direction.

NAM — Inventory Adjustment, adding one SKU and removing another.

When to use Bin Transfer instead of a Transfer

Use Bin Transfer when the stock stays at the same warehouse and only changes bin — most often pulling material out of the Direct Pay bin for a cash job, or putting it back. Total on-hand at that location doesn't change, so it is neither a transfer between regions nor an adjustment up or down.
