Inventory Transfer

You can use the Inventory Transfer transaction to move items from one location to another, either within a warehouse or between warehouses. Use this transaction only for unplanned item transfers. For planned transfers, where separate picking and receiving processes are required, use the Picking and Receiving transactions. For more information on using those transactions, see Picking Items and Receiving Items.

If you are moving items in containers or from containers, as opposed to "loose" inventory items, you must specify handling units. See Relocating Containers for instructions.

You can move items from one location to another location by performing transfer transaction for one stock points at a time, or you can move the contents of all stock points at one location to another location in single transaction. For example, if location is damaged or affected by an environmental hazard, such as moisture, you may need to move all inventory out of that location. To relocate items from an individual stock point, use the Inventory Transfer transaction. To relocate all items from all stock points at a location, use the Global Transfer transaction. You can only use the Global Transfer transaction for location-controlled warehouses.
