Stock and warehouse transfers
Count, adjust and transfer stock for the correct variant.
Distinguish on-hand, allocated and available quantities by variant/warehouse.
Where
Web: Shop · /shop/stock. Desktop: Business → Shop.
Step by step
Choose warehouse and variant
Configure warehouses and channel warehouse order, then choose the target variant.
Choose the right operation
A count sets a new quantity. An adjustment adds a difference. A transfer moves stock between warehouses.
Review availability
Compare on-hand, reserved and available quantities. Review safety stock and preorder rules separately.
What to know
Counts set stock; adjustments apply a delta. Transfers move stock between warehouses.
Safety stock narrows availability. Preorders have separate promises/limits.
Configure warehouses/channel order first; outstanding allocations can prevent closure.
