Why this report matters
The moment you run more than one location, stock starts moving between them — warehouse to store, store to store, warehouse to 3PL. Each of those movements is a transfer, and each is a chance for stock to go missing, arrive short, or sit in limbo as "in transit" for longer than it should.
The Inventory Transfers Report gives you a single view of every movement: what was sent, where it came from, where it’s going, its current status, and how much actually arrived versus how much was rejected. That visibility is what keeps inventory counts accurate across locations and prevents the overselling that happens when stock is assumed to be somewhere it isn’t.
It also turns transfer history into a performance metric. By tracking the gap between when a transfer ships and when it’s received, you can measure internal lead times and spot the routes or teams that consistently run slow.
What’s included in the report
Transfer Name
The name or reference number of the transfer.
Transfer Status
Where the transfer is in its lifecycle.
Example: Draft · Ready to Ship · In Transit / Shipped · Received
Heads up: Stock in a Ready-to-Ship transfer is reserved at the origin — it’s committed and shouldn’t be counted as freely available there.
Transfer Note / Reason
The note or reason attached to the transfer, useful for context and reconciliation.
Route
Origin Location
The location the stock is moving from.
Example: NY Warehouse
Destination Location
The location the stock is moving to.
Example: LA Flagship Store
Quantities & line items
Product / Variant / SKU
The items in the transfer, down to variant and SKU.
Received Quantity
Units accepted into the destination location.
Rejected Quantity
Units rejected at receiving — damaged, mismatched, or unexpected.
Heads up: A persistent gap between sent and received quantities is your early warning of loss, mis-picks, or damage in transit.
Timing
Expected Arrival Date
The planned arrival date set when the transfer was created.
Shipped / Received Dates
Formula: Internal Lead Time = Received Date − Shipped Date
When the transfer shipped and when it was received — the basis for internal lead-time measurement.
Staff member · Tracking number · Carrier · Tags · Linked purchase order · Variant cost

How to read the report
Patterns to look for first:
- Stuck in transit. Transfers sitting in Shipped status well past their expected arrival date — chase these before stock is assumed lost.
- Sent vs. received gaps. A recurring shortfall between sent and received points to loss, theft, or damage on a route.
- High rejected quantities. Frequent rejections suggest packing, picking, or handling problems at the origin.
- Lead-time outliers. Routes with consistently long ship-to-receive times need attention or more realistic planning.
