Warehouse Transfer

The Warehouse Transfer module allows you to track the stock movement between two different locations. This screen uses the concept of transfer cards which show each stage of the stock journey starting from being removed from one location, being in transit and then received in the destination location.

The Warehouse Transfer screen overview

• Location
• Search
• Archive
• New transfer
• New request
• Stock movement

To access the screen, go to Inventory > Warehouse Transfer:

Location

Use the locations drop-down menu in the top left-hand corner of the screen to review outstanding transfers (that are not marked as delivered) for a specific location. There is also an all locations option in the list that displays outstanding transfers for all locations. The locations in the drop-down menu are taken from Inventory > Locations. Fulfilment centres and FBA locations are not available in the drop-down menu as these are not supported in the Warehouse Transfer module. 

Search

In the Warehouse Transfer screen, you can search for transfers by SKU, barcode, bin reference, title, and transfer reference. Select the search filter, enter the text and click the Search button to look for the required transfers.

Archive

The warehouse transfer card is moved to the Archive section when you change its status to delivered. The same applies to deleted warehouse transfers. Click the Archive button if you need to check past or deleted transfers. 

In the Archived Transfers screen you can select two tabs:

• Search: displays transfers filtered by SKU, title, barcode, transfer reference, or bin reference. The search tab offers multiple search options to look for archived transfers: 
  • By created date: the date when a transfer was created.
  • By archived date: the date when a transfer was delivered or deleted.
  • For all dates: all dates.
• All: displays all transfers.

To view warehouse transfer information, click the search  icon on the right side of the table in the row with the required transfer.

2. From: the location that the stock was transferred from.

If the transfer was deleted, it will be marked accordingly
5. Notes: warehouse transfer notes. You can also check item specific notes by clicking the noteicon in the item's row.
