Inventory Transfers

Inventory Transfers allows you to efficiently manage and track the progress of inbound and outbound transfers. The Transfers' dashboard groups the transfers by type (i.e., Open, Requested, Processing, Fulfilled, and Shipped). These groups of transfers include the total number of transfers for each status along with the individual count of how many are inbound and how many are outbound. 

The ability to create a transfer is available from the dashboard, however, it is more common to create a transfer from within the Inventory tab of a product. See Create Transfer for instructions to transfer within the Product.

2. Click the + plus icon.
3. In the Create Transfer Request modal, select the "From Location" and the "To Location" within the dropdown menus.
