When to Use a Transfer

A transfer is the right workflow when inventory leaves one place and arrives somewhere else. It creates a trackable record with status, item quantities, source and destination locations, and related accounting impact when the move is shipped and received.

  • Internal transfer: move stock between locations in the same entity.
  • Intercompany transfer: send stock from one entity to another entity in the organization.
  • FBA inbound transfer: send stock from your warehouse to Amazon FBA when that connector is configured.

Do not use a transfer to fix a count mistake If the physical quantity is wrong, use a cycle count or inventory adjustment. Use a transfer only when stock is moving from one place to another.

​
Read the Transfer List

  • Active: transfers still moving through the workflow.
  • Pending Approval: intercompany transfers waiting for a receiving-side approval.
  • In Transit: stock has left the source but has not fully arrived.
  • Closed Today: transfers completed today.
  • Type filter: narrow the list to internal, FBA inbound, intercompany, or pending approval transfers.
  • Search: find a transfer by transfer number.

​
Create a Transfer

  1. Open Warehouse, then choose Transfers.
  2. Select New Transfer.
  3. Choose the transfer type.
  4. Select the source location and destination.
  5. Add products and quantities.
  6. Review available quantity before creating or submitting the transfer.
  7. Create the transfer, then use the detail page to submit, approve, ship, receive, or cancel as needed.

​
Understand the Lifecycle

The exact status path depends on the transfer type, but the intent is the same: draft or submitted work has not moved stock yet, shipped or in-transit work has left the source, and received or closed work has arrived at the destination.

  • Draft or submitted: the transfer is being prepared.
  • Pending approval: an intercompany transfer is waiting for approval.
  • Approved: the transfer can be shipped.
  • In transit, shipped, or receiving: stock has left the source and may be partially received.
  • Closed: the destination has received the transfer.
  • Cancelled or rejected: the transfer stopped before completion.
Partial receiving is expected If only part of a transfer arrives, receive the arrived quantity. Arcus keeps the transfer open until the remaining quantity is received or the workflow is otherwise closed.

​
Common Scenarios

  • Moving stock to a picking area: create an internal transfer from storage to the picking location.
  • Sending stock to another entity: create an intercompany transfer and wait for approval before shipping.
  • Sending products to FBA: create an FBA inbound transfer and follow the connector-specific prompts.
  • Fixing the wrong warehouse balance: use a transfer only if the stock is truly at another location.
  • Receiving fewer units than shipped: receive the quantity that arrived and leave the remaining quantity open for follow-up.

​
What Changes When a Transfer Ships or Receives

  • Shipping removes stock availability from the source side of the move.
  • Receiving adds stock to the destination side of the move.
  • The inventory movement history records the transfer out and transfer in activity.
  • Accounting impact is recorded as the transfer moves through shipped and received states.
  • Open transfer quantities can affect planning and stock review until the move is complete.

​
Common Blocks

  • New Transfer is unavailable: you may not have transfer permission.
  • No source stock is available: review available quantity, reservations, and the selected source location.
  • Intercompany transfer is stuck: check whether it is waiting for approval or rejection notes.
  • FBA option is disabled: confirm the Amazon connector and FBA settings are configured.
  • Receive action is unavailable: the transfer may not be shipped or in transit yet.
  • Transfer should not have happened: cancel it before shipping, or follow the return transfer process if stock already moved.
