Transfers & stock counts ​

Two tools keep multi-location stock honest: transfers move stock between locations, and stock counts reconcile the system to what's physically on the shelf.

Transfers ​

Move stock from one location to another — for example, from a warehouse to a shop.

  1. Open Inventory → Transfers and choose New transfer.
  2. Pick the from and to locations.
  3. Add the items and quantities.
  4. Send it. Depending on your setup, the receiving location confirms what arrived.

Both balances update with a full paper trail, so you always know what moved and when.

Stock counts ​

A stock count corrects the system to reality — after breakage, shrinkage, or just drift.

  1. Open Inventory → Stock counts and start a count.
  2. Choose a full count (everything) or a cycle count (a section or category at a time).
  3. Enter the counted quantities; Retailer OS shows the variance vs the system.
  4. Post the count to apply the corrections.

TIP

Cycle counting — counting a slice of the store on a rotating schedule — keeps stock accurate without ever closing to do a big full count.

WARNING

Posting a count adjusts live stock. Review the variance before you post, especially large swings.
