Transfer Inventory From One Store to Another

Move inventory from one store to another without a physical count or a vendor invoice. Store transfers only work between stores under the same banner — if your account has a single store, or the two stores you want to move inventory between are on different banners, this option won’t appear.

​

How a store transfer works

1. You upload a CSV of the products and quantities leaving the sending store.
2. Vori decreases the sending store’s on-hand count for each matched product and records a ledger entry for the change, even if the store doesn’t currently have an on-hand count to subtract from.
3. Vori creates an invoice at the receiving store for the transferred items — you complete the transfer by processing that invoice there.

​

Step 1: Prepare your CSV

Your file needs two columns:

• Barcode
• Inventory — the quantity leaving the sending store.

Download the file as a CSV.

​

Step 2: Upload and select Transfer

1. Log in to app.vori.com. In the store switcher at the top left, select the store you’re transferring inventory from.
2. Go to Inventory & Supply Chain > Inventory, then click Upload in the top right corner.
3. Drag and drop your CSV, or click to select it.
4. On Select Inventory Change Type, choose Transfer. Under Select Receiving Store, choose the store that will receive the transferred inventory.
   Transfer only appears as a change type when your banner has more than one store.
5. Map columns: Match your spreadsheet headers to Barcode and Inventory, then click Next.

​

Step 3: Review and commit

On the Review Linked Data screen, Vori sorts your rows into three tabs:

1. For Import. Products Vori matched and will include in the transfer. Vori shows the resulting on-hand count at the sending store for each one.
   • If a product doesn’t have a current on-hand count, Vori still records the ledger entry (for example, -9).
   
2. Invalid. Rows with a problem, such as a barcode with no matching product. Check the Validation Errors column for the reason.
3. Skipped. Rows you’ve manually excluded from the import.
4. Select Commit when you’re done. Transfers process asynchronously, so it can take a moment for the sending store’s inventory to update.

​

Step 4: Finish the transfer at the receiving store

Committing the transfer removes the inventory from the sending store, but the products aren’t in the receiving store’s inventory yet.

1. Switch to the receiving store and go to Invoices. Vori creates an invoice there for the transferred items, listed with Store Transfer as the vendor.
2. Work through it using your standard cost-change and product-mapping review. See Manage Invoices, New Items, and Cost Changes for the full workflow.
3. Set a retail price for any transferred product that’s new to the receiving store before you approve the changes.
