Transfers

If you have multiple Storage Locations, sometimes you have to move inventory between them.

Working with Transfers

To start working with Transfers, click “Inventory”, then “Transfers” in the left-hand menu. That will bring up the Transfers page, which lists all your past Transfers in chronological order.
Navigation to Transfers

You can filter the Transfers based on source (From), destination(to), and date. From here you can make a new Transfer, add a Transfer, view the details of a past Transfer or delete it.

Adding a Transfer

To add a Transfer, click the “+New Transfer” button on the Transfers page. New Transfer navigation That will bring up the New Inventory Transfer page. New Transfer

Specify where the Items being moved are coming from, in “From Storage Location,” and where they are going to in “To Storage Location”.

The Comment field is a good place to note the reason for the Transfer, but you can leave it blank.

Then select the Item and quantity for each Item that is being Transferred. If you have barcodes set up, you can use your barcode reader to “boop” in the materials being Transferred.

When you are done, click “Save”. The system will check that you have enough inventory in “From” to cover the Transfer. If so, the inventory changes will take place immediately.

Viewing the details of a Transfer

To view the details of a Transfer, click the “view” button beside it in the Transfers list.

Deleting a Transfer

This should not happen very often!

To delete a Transfer, click the “delete” button beside the Transfer.
Delete Transfer navigation

Then press “OK” to confirm. This will check that the inventory levels in the two Storage Locations will allow the change. If they will, it will roll back the inventory changes that were made when you entered the Transfer.

** N.B. This is not undoable ***

[!NOTE] If you do delete the wrong Transfer, you can find a record of any Transfer made since September 2024 in the “History” Report. There you can find the amount transferred for each Item, so that you could re-enter them. The inventory changes in that case will be as of the date you re-enter, though.


Exporting Transfers

To export a list of the Transfers, click “Export Transfers” on the Transfers page Navigation to Transfer export

The details in the export are lacking – it doesn’t show each Item, but only the total. Sample Transfer export
