# List inventory transfers (warehouse, intercompany, FBA inbound)

> Returns a paginated list of inventory transfer records for the entity. A transfer
is visible when EITHER endpoint matches the active location (Pattern A on
`inventory_transfers.location_from_id` OR `location_to_id`), mirroring the
bin-movements operator mental model "show me every transfer that touches LOC-X".

Layer 4 location isolation (NEW-GAP-API-V1-LIST-X-LOCATION-ID-SWEEP, 2026-05-17):
the wrapper applies the `X-Location-Id` request header first, then the
`location_id` query param (header takes precedence). When neither is set,
the response is entity-wide (admin view). `location_from_id` and
`location_to_id` are NOT NULL in the schema, so there is no NULL-universal
carve-out for transfers.

Filter set: `status`, `transfer_type`, `search` (transfer_number prefix +
trigram similarity). The page also returns a `stats` object with rollups
for `active`, `pending_approval`, `in_transit`, and `closed_today` counts
scoped to the same location filter.

Requires `inventory:read` scope.

  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.
