Depending on the business needs and status of location, multi-source merchants often transfer product inventory from one source location to another. For example, you may be closing a warehouse location or no longer shipping specific products from a location, moving all operations for those products to a new location.

This option allows you to select one or more products, the origin source to transfer inventory, and the destination source to receive quantities:

  • Inventory quantities, Source Item Status (In Stock/Out of Stock), and the Notify Quantity for the selected source are moved per product.

  • If a product does not have that source, it is skipped.

  • All product inventory for the source is moved. You cannot transfer a partial quantity.

NOTE
If the origin and destination sources are in different stocks, it affects the aggregated Salable Quantity and reservations for in-progress orders.

You can also unassign the source when transferring inventory quantities.

NOTE
Unassigning a source clears all quantity data. Reassigning a source can potentially cause issues with salable quantities, reservations, and pending orders. It is recommended that you process all orders before unassigning sources or making other source changes. You can also use new commands to detect and update reservations. See Inventory Management CLI Reference for more information.
