Warehouse To Warehouse Transfer

Table of Contents

Overview

The Warehouse To Warehouse Transfer helps you manage the transfer of inventory between warehouses. When such a transfer request is created, the From Warehouse is the warehouse you are transferring the items from. The Destination Warehouse is the warehouse you are transferring the items to. In contrast to the One Way Transfer, a Warehouse to Warehouse Transfer requires you to specify both an In and Out warehouse location. The Interim Warehouse will store your items while they are in transit until the transfer is complete.

Warehouse To Warehouse Transfer Module

The Warehouse To Warehouse Transfer module is located within Skustack’s Transfers tab.

There are three modes for searching transfers:

  • Search By ID – Search for a specific Transfer ID.
  • Search By Tracking – Search for a transfer by a specific Tracking number.

    • Pending
    • Requested
    • Partially Picked
    • Fully Picked

Create a Warehouse Transfer

Inventory transfers can be created per product or for multiple products simultaneously.

Warehouse Transfers are recorded in the Inventory Movement of the products and can always be checked for reference.

Individually

  1. Navigate to Products > Open a product > Toolbox > Warehouse > Transfers > Edit.
  2. Click the + icon (Show me where!).
  3. Enter the warehouse you want to transfer from and the warehouse you want to transfer to. Then, enter the number of units to transfer, a transfer reason, inventory cost (optional), and click Transfer.
This option is currently limited to warehouses that are not bin-enabled and changes are reflected immediately. Transfers for bin-enabled warehouses should be handled through the Skustack app or created In Bulk with a status Pending.

In bulk

  1. Navigate to Transfer > Manage Warehouse Transfers.
  2. Click on the green + icon in the lower right-hand corner.
  3. Populate the Title and Company fields.
  4. Select the warehouse from which the product will be shipped.
  5. Select an interim warehouse through which the product will be transferred.
  6. Select a destination warehouse where the product will be stored.
  7. (Optional) Add Notes.
  8. Click on the blue arrow icon to continue.
  9. Add products to your request. This can either be done manually or through a file upload.
  10. Add the desired quantities in the grid, and click Finish.
  11. A success message will indicate that the transfer is created and the request will now be listed as Pending. Alternatively, you can create transfers with a Pending status using a file import.
  12. Click View Transfer Details.
  13. When the transfer request is ready to be confirmed, access the Actions menu and click Set Requested.
  14. When the items are ready to ship, access the Actions menu and click Set Shipped. The inventory will transfer over to the interim warehouse.
    • To edit the shipped quantity, set the transfer to Unshipped, edit the quantity, and set it as Shipped again.
  15. When the transfer is ready to be received, access the Actions menu and select Receive Shipment. This will transfer the inventory quantities to the destination warehouse.
By utilizing the filters on the Warehouse Inventory Transfers page, various employees can be assigned to handle different stages of the transfer process. For instance, the employee responsible for shipping the items can navigate to the Status > Requested filter to specifically view transfer requests awaiting shipment. This filter will display all requests ready for shipping, allowing the employee to oversee the shipping process and update the transfer status accordingly.

FBA Removal transfers are received through a separate module within Skustack. Learn more about that here.
