Getting started with transfer orders

Last updated on 18 Nov, 2025

Transfer Orders in EasyScan allow you to move stock between your locations with accuracy and control. They provide a clear, trackable workflow so that every item is scanned, packed and received correctly. This helps you keep your multi-location inventory up to date and ensures that stock is always recorded in the right place.

When to use Transfer Orders

Transfer Orders are ideal for any situation where you need to move products from one location to another. Common examples include:

  • Rebalancing stock between busy and quiet stores

  • Moving items from a warehouse to a retail shop

  • Preparing stock for a pop-up or temporary event

  • Returning surplus goods to a central location

  • Correcting distribution issues across locations

If you operate more than one location, Transfer Orders help ensure your stock stays accurate and traceable as it moves through your business.

How Transfer Orders work

A Transfer Order follows a simple three stage process. Each stage has its own detailed guide which you can follow to complete the workflow.

  1. Create: Build the transfer, choose the origin and destination locations, and select which products will be moved.

  2. Pack: Scan and confirm the items that are leaving the origin location. Any items that cannot be shipped can be declined.

  3. Receive: Scan incoming items at the destination location to record what has arrived. You can also reject items that are missing or damaged.

This overview helps you understand the full journey before you begin.
