Create and Receive a Stock Transfer End-to-End

Go to Stock Transfers and click 'Transfer between Locations'.

Pick the origin and destination locations (they must be different) and optionally name the transfer.

The transfer opens in Draft state. Use the product picker to add variants, setting quantities for each. The picker shows current availability at both locations.

When the item list is final, click 'Mark Ready to Ship'. Alfred creates the corresponding Shopify transfer and reserves the committed units at the origin.

When the package physically leaves, click 'Add shipment'. Enter the quantity shipped per line (defaults to the full committed amount for a single-shipment transfer), add a tracking number and ship date, and save. The transfer transitions to In Transit.

When the shipment arrives at the destination, open the transfer and click 'Receive' on the shipment.

Enter the received quantity for each line. If a count differs from what shipped, pick a discrepancy reason (damaged, lost, miscounted, over-received).

Submit to push inventory increments to Shopify at the destination. The transfer transitions to Received once all shipped units are accounted for.

Create a draft transfer with all items and full intended quantities, the same way you would for a single-shipment transfer.

Mark Ready to Ship.

When the first package leaves, click 'Add shipment' and enter just the quantities going in that package (not the full transfer). Add the tracking number for that package. Save.

When the second package leaves, click 'Add shipment' again. Enter the quantities in this second package. Add its own tracking number. Save.

Continue creating shipments until all outstanding units are dispatched. The parent transfer's totals (committed, shipped, outstanding) update with each shipment.

Receive each shipment independently as it arrives at the destination — each gets its own receive event with its own discrepancy tracking.

The transfer transitions to Received once every shipment is closed.
