Inventory Transfer

Inventory Transfer utility is provided for merchants that have multiple distribution centers. It provides a method to adjust the inventory level (quantity) from one distribution center to another with the ability to update and track the actual transfer (shipment) record. This feature is especially useful for merchants selling on Amazon. UltraCart provides Amazon with hourly inventory updates so this utility gives lead times so pre-orders can build up.

If no transfers have been created, the familiar message telling you so will appear on the Inventory Transfers screen.

Click on the "new" button to create a new inventory transfer. These can be deleted later, once they've proved their usefulness. The first step will be to identify the "from/to" distribution centers involved in the transfer. In our sample we are transferring "From" SHIP 1 and "To" SHP 2 distribution centers involved.


There are two fields to complete here. In the first field, select the distribution center you are transferring from. In the second field, select the distribution center you are transferring to. Click the "Next" button when finished. Your from/to configuration will appear immediately below the Description field on the next screen.
