# Transfer Now

### Aim

Record a transfer of custody of an item or consignment from your account to another account and keep track of who has custody of the assets and any given time as they move along the supply chain.

**Take Care:** Transfer is only to be used for transferring the custody of an item or consignment. Use **Move** if you are just moving items between areas within your own farm or facility.‌

### Benefits

An accurate record of each custodial transfer as items move along the supply chain can help prevent counterfeits or determine any liability if things go wrong. If there is ever a claim, it can be useful information for an insurer to have a record of the 'baton changes' that occurred as goods moved along the supply chain. The Aglive Platform can record each new custodian and the time and location of each transfer. In collaboration with third party IoT services we can also record the condition of the goods at any given time.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aglive.com/aglive/archived/transfer-a-consignment/transfer-now.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
