Inventory Transfers
Move stock between locations without losing track.
Create transfer orders between any two locations in seconds. Log when goods leave the source, confirm receipt at the destination, and handle partial deliveries — all with a full timestamped audit trail.
Key benefits
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Transfer orders in seconds
Select a source location, destination, SKU, and quantity. The transfer order is created instantly and both locations show the movement as pending.
Partial receipts
If a partial shipment arrives, log only the quantities received. The remainder stays open on the transfer order. The ledger updates correctly for both locations.
Full movement history
Every transfer is logged with the user who created it, the user who confirmed receipt, timestamps, and quantities. Complete chain of custody for every unit.
Automatic stock adjustments
When a transfer is confirmed received, the source location's on-hand drops and the destination's rises — automatically. No manual journal entries.
Transfer status tracking
Transfer orders move through statuses: Draft → In Transit → Partially Received → Completed. You always know what is in transit between locations.
Mobile-friendly
Field staff can confirm receipt directly from a mobile browser by scanning barcodes or selecting line items. No laptop required.
How it works
Up and running in minutes.
Create the transfer order
Select the source location, destination, and add the SKUs and quantities to move.
Mark as shipped
When goods leave the source, mark the transfer as In Transit. Source location stock shows as committed.
Confirm receipt
At the destination, scan or select the quantities received. Partial receipt is supported.
Transfer completes
Both location stock levels update automatically. The full movement is recorded in the audit log.

FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
Can I transfer stock between more than two locations at once?
Each transfer order is between one source and one destination. You can create multiple transfer orders simultaneously for more complex moves.
What happens if I over-receive on a transfer?
Safer Inventory will flag the discrepancy and ask you to confirm. The system tracks what was sent vs what was received.
Is there a full audit trail for all transfers?
Yes. Every transfer event — creation, shipping, partial receipt, and completion — is logged with user, timestamp, and quantities.
