Transfers
Requires.
- Enhanced Inventory enabled, and
- Inventory Management / Assignments permission anywhere.
A transfer is one party shipping equipment to another. The transfer sits in a pending state until the receiving party accepts it — only then do on-hand counts move from source to target. This two-step model prevents counts from going out of sync when shipments are delayed or items go missing in transit.
What the page shows
A filterable, sortable list of every transfer in the company. Each row identifies the source, the target, the equipment, and the current state.
Creating a transfer
Click New Transfer in the top-right of the Transfers page to open the transfer builder. You choose who's shipping, who's receiving, and how much of each item to send.
| Field | Required? | Type | Validation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Yes | Select | Must differ from Target | The recipient (a technician or a location) shipping the equipment. |
| Target | Yes | Select | Must differ from Source | The recipient receiving the equipment. Picking the same recipient for both shows "Source and target cannot be the same recipient" and no grid. |
| Quantity (per item) | No | Number | Whole number, 0 or more | Entered on each equipment row. Only rows with a quantity above 0 are transferred. |
Once both a Source and a Target are chosen, a comparison grid lists every active (non-collection) equipment item with the inventory position for each side:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name / UPC / SKU | Identifies the equipment item. |
| Base | The configured target stocking level for that recipient, or not set. |
| Min | The configured minimum for that recipient, or not set. |
| On Hand | Current accepted count. Shows N/A if you don't have permission to view on-hand counts. |
| On Order | Quantity inbound on open purchase orders. |
| On Transfer | Quantity tied up in pending transfers. |
| PA | Pre-allocated — committed to customer equipment. |
| +/- | The recipient's surplus or shortfall against base. Green is over, red is under. |
These columns appear for both the source and the target so you can see the effect of a move before you make it.
To send equipment:
- Choose a Source and a Target.
- Enter a Quantity on each item you want to move.
- (Optional) Click Hide 0 Quantity to collapse the grid to only the rows you've filled in. Click Show 0 Quantity to bring them all back.
- Click Transfer.
Each item with a quantity above 0 is created as a Pending transfer and you're returned to the Transfers list, where the new rows appear. Nothing leaves the source's counts yet — the target has to accept first (see States).
Note. Transfers are always created as Pending. There's no way to skip acceptance from this page — that two-step hand-off is what keeps counts accurate when shipments are in transit.
Filtering
The Filter button opens a side flyout. Available filters:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sort By | Choose the order — by ID (default), created date, etc. Always shown first. |
| Per Page | 10, 25, or 50 rows. Always shown second. |
| Source | Narrow to transfers shipped from a specific recipient. |
| Target | Narrow to transfers headed to a specific recipient. |
| Status | Pending (default), Accepted, Rejected. |
| Date from / Date to | Created-date window. |
The filter button shows a red dot when any filter (other than Sort or Per Page) is set, and a Clear action resets everything to defaults.
States
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | The transfer has been initiated but not yet accepted or rejected by the target. On-hand counts have not moved. |
| Accepted | The target has confirmed receipt. The transfer is finalized — source's on-hand drops, target's on-hand rises. |
| Rejected | The target refused the shipment (e.g. wrong item, missing items). The transfer is logged but never moves stock. |
