Warehouse Transfer Tutorial Video

Warehouse Transfers enable you to manage your inventory between stock locations, accurately, efficiently and in real-time. Whether moving stock to fulfil shipments, source production or complete returns, you can process them individually or in bulk to update your inventory levels accordingly.

Points to Note

  • Any stock included on an open (Parked) Warehouse Transfer will be considered an Allocated Quantity, thus will affect your stock availability.
  • Warehouse Transfers are only available if there are two or more active Warehouses in your account. You can create and manage Warehouses in the System settings, for more details see Warehouses.
  • Completed Warehouse Transfers cannot be edited or deleted.
  • Existing Warehouse Transfers cannot be edited using the Import Warehouse Transfers function.
  • You can use the Barcoding function in Warehouse Transfers to speed up your allocating process. For more details, see Barcoding.
