How to Move Inventory Between Locations (Mobile App)

How to Move Inventory Between Locations

Step 1: Open Move Inventory

From the dashboard, tap the Move Inventory tile.

Step 2: Select Your From Location

Tap the From field and select the origin location using the search, dropdown, or barcode scanner.

Once selected, the available inventory at that location will populate automatically — giving you a clear picture of what's available to move before you proceed.

Step 3: Select Your To Location

Tap the To field and select your destination location.

Once both locations are set, you'll see the movement displayed as a banner above the search field — for example: Receiving Bay → Bulk Storage Area. Tap the pencil icon on the right to edit either location if needed.

Step 4: Add Items to Move

Use the Search / Scan Items field to find the items you want to move. You can search by SKU or UPC, type a keyword, or tap the barcode icon to scan using your device's camera.

Each item appears as a SKU Tile showing:

1. Item Information — SKU, Description, Available Qty.
2. Selection Count — How many you've selected out of available (e.g. 0/87)
3. Move All Toggle — Enables moving the full available quantity at once
4. Quantity Field — Tap to type a quantity directly
5. +/− Buttons — Tap to increase or decrease quantity

Step 5: Set Quantities

For each item, enter the quantity to move using one of these methods:

• Tap the quantity field and type the amount
• Tap the + or − buttons to adjust
• Enable the Move All toggle to select the full available quantity automatically

Repeat for any additional items being moved to the same destination.

Step 6: Add a Note (Optional)

Tap the Optional note field at the bottom of the screen to add a reference note for this move.

Step 7: Confirm the Move

Tap Move Selected Items. You'll be returned to the dashboard once the move is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move all available inventory at once in Zenventory?

Yes. Each SKU tile includes a Move All toggle. Enable it to automatically select the full available quantity at that location — no manual entry needed. You can still adjust individual item quantities before tapping Move Selected Items to confirm.

How does Zenventory handle lot-tracked or serialized items during a move?

Tracking is managed automatically. The SKU tile displays relevant details based on the item's tracking type, expiration date for perishables, lot number for lot-tracked items, or a serial badge with a selection field for serialized items.
