Transferring Store Inventory

With fabric’s storefront app, you can transfer and balance store inventory levels and send items to another store or to a Distribution center (DC). Once a shipping label is created and printed for a store transfer, your store inventory levels are adjusted.

You can view transfers by clicking Transfers in the left menu. Only your selected store’s transfers are displayed.

​

Creating an Inventory Transfer

1. In the left menu, click Transfers.

2. To create a new transfer, click Create New Transfer.

   The Create New Transfer window is displayed. The sending store location is automatically set to your store or DC’s location.

3. In the Receiving Store field, select a store.

   A green checkmark appears to confirm the sending and receiving stores are selected.

4. Click Create Transfer.

   The transfer page is displayed with a message confirming the transfer # was successfully created.

The transfer page displays the Sending Store, Receiving Location, transfer type, and provides action options for managing the transfer:

• Pick
• Pack
• Ship

​

Pick

The pick step is used to determine the contents of the transfer. You can add items by scanning the items barcode or manually entering the barcode.

1. Scan the barcode of the first item.

   The item is added to a list. You can scan multiple items.

2. (Optional) If the item doesn’t scan, do the following to manually add a SKU:

   1. Click the ellipsis button (⋮).
   2. In the dropdown menu, select Manually add items. The manual input window is displayed.
   3. Click Done.

3. Confirm that the scanned item is correct.

   Some items can have an incorrect barcode or variations and result in inconsistencies at the receiving location. We recommend you to double check that the correct item is displayed to avoid any such errors.

4. In the Quantity field, enter the quantity.

   By default, quantity is set to one when you scan an item.

5. Click Pack.

​

Pack

The packing stage is where you confirm the size of the parcel and physically add items to the parcel. You will see the items that were picked and their quantity above the Package section.

Each company has a default bag or box size for packing. Confirm the bag or box is the correct size.

Each package type has a set weight limit to prevent it from being damaged during the transit.

When the shipping label is printed, the shipping carrier checks the size of each carton or parcel to allocate space in the shipping truck.

1. (Optional) If you want to change the size of the parcel, click the ellipsis (⋮) and select the Change package type/size option. The Parcel Size window appears.

   1. Select a new size for the parcel.
   2. Click Select.

2. Click the ellipsis (⋮) and select the Scan into parcel option.

3. Scan the barcodes for each item.

   You must match the number of items scanned to the quantity that’s provided in the Pick step.

4. (Optional) If the item doesn’t scan, do the following to manually add a SKU:

   1. Click the ellipsis button (⋮).
   2. In the dropdown that appears, select Manually add items. The manual input window is displayed.
   3. To add items, click the + icon.
   4. Click Done.

5. Click Done.

​

Ship

The Ship option is enabled only after completing the packaging step.

1. Click Select Shipping Carrier.

   The Pick shipping method window is displayed.

Two different types of shipping methods are available:

• Selecting a carrier: Select a preferred carrier method, such as FedEx or UPS, as the shipping method.
• Hand Carry Transfer: An employee or manager will be responsible for delivering the transfer. Use this option to save money on shipping costs.

   The shipping method that you selected is displayed in the Shipping Carrier section.

The transfers status is updated to TRANSFER SHIPPED. With this status update, your store inventory levels are adjusted.
