WHAT IT IS

The Inter-Store feature found under the Inventory menu allows multi-store environments to transfer, request, and receive inventory items between stores. The Transfer Tab is part of the Inter-Store feature.

WHAT IT DOES

The Transfer Tab opens a form allowing you to transfer items to other stores. It will also display items requested from your store for easy fulfillment.

HOW IT WORKS

This form is divided into top and bottom sections.
