Record stock moving from one location to another.

Before you start

Both locations and the product variants must already exist.

STEP 2

Add the shipment

Add products, enter quantities, and add a reference or note that identifies the movement. Save the transfer.

  • Count the physical units before dispatch.
STEP 3

Mark the movement

Choose Mark as in transit when the goods leave the source.

  • Do not also make a manual inventory increase for the same movement.
STEP 4

Receive and reconcile

At the destination choose Receive items and record the actual quantities received. Check both locations in Inventory.

  • Investigate missing or damaged units before closing your operational records.

CHECK YOUR WORK

You’re ready when…

  • Source and destination quantities reflect the movement.
  • The transfer status agrees with the physical shipment.

Troubleshooting

Why is stock still in transit?

The destination receipt has not been completed, or only part was received. Open the transfer and check its remaining quantities.

Why is a control missing or unavailable?

Confirm that you are in the correct store and that your role allows this action. Optional apps and channels may require installation, a plan, or activation. Share the screen name and error with support if access is still unclear.
