Updated

If you have more than one Outlet in your Vendor you can transfer stock between them at cost.

 

Configuring Transfers

When receiving a transfer from another Outlet you may wish to update your Outlet's last and average costs.

  1. Open the Menu
  2. Select Setup
  3. Select General
  4. Change the tab to Outlets
  5. For each Outlet you'll be receiving stock at, scroll down to the Transfers section
  6. Toggle the Update Last Cost When Receiving Transfers setting to your preference
  7. Toggle the Update Average Cost When Receiving Transfers setting to your preference
  8. Press Save

Sending a Transfer

Sending a transfer is very similar to sending a supplier order.

  1. Open the Menu
  2. Select Stock Management
  3. Press Transfer Stock 
  4. Select the Outlet you are sending stock from
  5. Select the Outlet you are sending the stock to
  6. Fill in the additional details as required
  7. Select Transfer

From this point on the transfer works the same way as sending a supplier order.

 

Receiving a Transfer

Once you have physically received the stock for a transfer you can receive the transfer on Shopfront. Typically you'll receive a notification saying you have a new transfer, if you still have this notification you can click on it to go directly to the transfer.

If you don't have the notification any more you can find the transfer by using Stock Management:

  1. Open the Menu
  2. Select Stock Management
  3. Change the Status to Sent
  4. Change the Type to Transfer
  5. Fill out any additional information to assist you with finding the Transfer
  6. Click Filter

You'll now be presented with a list of applicable transfers, find the one you are after and select View or Receive.

If you selected to view you'll be taken to the Transfer view screen, click Receive on the top of the page.

From this point on the transfer works the same way as receiving a supplier invoice.
