How attributes are used in transferring the items?
To transfer the items from parent to child, create a parent variation and map the child variation with the use of attributes.
While creating a parent variation, select the Unit of Measurement as Weight (kg) and click the Primary Variation field.

Map the attributes only for child variations, no need to map the attribute for parent variation

After mapping the attributes, Goto Backend → Inventory Management → Stock → Search the Parent Variation → Action → Transfer to Items

Enter the Quantity as parent variation. For example, if parent variation's UOM is Weight (kg), then enter the Quantity: 5 and select the child variation is 1 kg. It transfers the 5 counts to child variation. If we select the child variation is 1/2 kg, it transfers the 10 counts to child variation.
