transfer inventory between locations

You can transfer inventory items between locations by creating transfer orders. Alternatively, you can use the item reclassification journal.

To transfer items, you must set up locations and transfer routes. To learn more about setting up locations, go to Set up locations. You can’t use transfer orders for blank locations.

Transfer orders

You can ship an outbound transfer from one location and receive an inbound transfer at the destination. You can:

• Track a quantity in transit.
• Define calendars, routings, and inbound and outbound handling times for date calculation and planning. To learn more about planning, go to About Planning Functionality.
• Use different warehouse features for inbound and outbound locations.
• Use transfer orders for direct transfers, with some limitations.

Item reclassification journals

You can use the Item Reclassification Journals page to:

• Direct transfer of items between locations.
• Move items between bins. To learn more about transferring items between bins, go to Move Items Unplanned in Basic Warehouse Configurations.
• Change a lot or serial number to a new lot or serial number. To learn more about reclassifying serial and lot numbers, go to Reclassify serial or lot numbers.
• Change the expiration date to a new date.
• Reclassify items from a blank location to an actual location.
• Create warehouse entries if you don’t manage warehouse activities.
