SKU to SKU Transfer

Table of Contents

Overview

SKU to SKU transfer is a seamless method for transferring physical inventory from one product to another. It is typically used when a product is being rebranded, refurbished, or when inventory needs to be consolidated from one SKU to another. In contrast to the One Way Transfer, the SKU to SKU transfer allows for two-way movements of inventory.

One common use case for this transfer is when returned items are in good condition and suitable for resale, but require a separate SKU to be classified as “Used.” In this scenario, the returned items need to be transferred to the “Used” SKU. This ensures that the returned items are correctly classified and inventory is accounted for.

Allow SKU to SKU transfers must be enabled for this workflow! To enable this setting, navigate to Skustack’s Warehouse Management settings > Product.
By default, only kit components can be transferred in both the Skustack app and Admin Portal, therefore before you can transfer an independent kit you must first disassemble it. To allow Kit transfers instead, enable Client Setting Allow SKU Transfer For Kits.
