Transfer orders in the warehouse app

GuideLast checked on 15/10/2026

Ship out transfer orders to other warehouses or remove them via a pick list, and book incoming transfers onto a target bin.

If goods are to go to another warehouse (e.g. a branch), you create a transfer order under Goods issue → Plan transfer orders (where you can also edit, cancel and close it with a discrepancy). Shipping out and booking receipt are only available in the warehouse app – for standard and WMS warehouses: under Goods issue → Transfer orders (shipping) you ship it out of the source warehouse. The goods are then in transit until the target warehouse books them in.

You need the permission Transfer stock and maintain replenishment.

Shipping out

  1. Tap Transfer orders (shipping). At the top you see Ship out – from here to other warehouses with all drafts of this warehouse, and the incoming transfers below.
  2. Tap an order and then Ship out… (standard warehouse) or Pick list for removal… (WMS warehouse) at the bottom.
  3. For each line, the app shows which bins the quantity comes from (in a standard warehouse: from the warehouse). If stock is missing, it shows … missing – then you cannot continue.
  4. Confirm with Ship out now or Create pick list.
    • Standard warehouse: booked immediately – "Shipped out – … units in transit to …".
    • WMS warehouse: a pick list is created and you go straight to Remove from stock. There you collect the goods from the bins by scan.
  5. If the goods are reserved for orders, the app warns you. With Ship out anyway you ship them out regardless.

If an order is already being removed from stock, open its pick list with Open pick list ….

Receipt in the target warehouse

Incoming transfers belong to Goods receipt: there they appear in one list together with supplier deliveries. On the transfer orders page you also find them under Incoming – goods in transit to here.

  1. Open the order. The goods receipt bin is suggested as the Target bin – or scan a different bin. If the target warehouse is a standard warehouse, there is no bin – the goods are booked directly into the warehouse.
  2. Scan the item, confirm the quantity and tap Book in on … – or Book in everything.
  3. Partial quantities remain in transit until they are booked in. Once everything has arrived, the order is Completed.

Scanning

When booking in, the app recognises items by item number and EAN/GTIN, also from GS1 codes.
