How to Transfer Inventory with ShipHero Mobile

This guide explains how to perform inventory transfers using the ShipHero Mobile application. It covers methods for transferring loose items and LPN-based containers within a single warehouse.

These transfer options are for inventory movements within a single physical warehouse. To move stock between different buildings, please see our guide on How to Transfer Inventory from one Warehouse to Another in ShipHero.

Transfers Using Transfer Entire Location

The Transfer Entire Location option is used for two primary scenarios:

1. Moving all contents (loose items and LPNs) from one location to another.
2. Moving a specific LPN from its current location to a new one.

Step-by-Step

1. Open the main menu on the mobile app and tap Inventory.
2. Select Transfer entire location.
3. Scan or search the source location in the From field. *If moving a specific LPN, scan the LPN barcode instead of the warehouse location.
4. Scan or select the destination location in the To field.
5. Tap Confirm in the top right corner.

Results

Scenario 1: All inventory is reassigned to the new location. The source location is now empty.

Scenario 2: The specific LPN is moved to the new location.
