How to Request a Warehouse Transfer (Mobile App)
Set your destination warehouse, choose auto or manual item selection, and submit a transfer request from the Zenventory mobile app.
Before You Begin
The Warehouse Transfer module lets you request inventory from one warehouse (the Origin Warehouse) to be sent to another (the Destination Warehouse). You initiate the request from the destination warehouse — the warehouse that needs the stock.
Make sure you know:
- Which warehouse you want inventory sent to (your active warehouse)
- Which warehouse you want inventory sent from (selected during request creation)
- Whether you want to use Auto (par-level-based) or Manual (choose items yourself)
How to Navigate to the Transfer Request Module
From the main menu dashboard, tap the Warehouse Transfer tile.

You'll be taken to the Transfer Orders screen, which shows all pending transfer requests for your currently active warehouse.
The Transfer Orders screen includes:

- Transfer Order Tiles — Each tile shows a pending transfer request for your active warehouse, including transfer number, origin warehouse, and required-by date.

How to Create a New Transfer Request
Step 1: Set Your Destination Warehouse
Confirm that your active warehouse is the warehouse you want goods transferred into. If it isn't, tap the 3-dot icon in the top right corner, select Change Warehouse, choose your destination warehouse, and tap OK.
Step 2: Tap + New Transfer Request
At the bottom of the Transfer Orders screen, tap the + New Transfer Request button.
You'll be prompted: "Auto Request Items Under Par Level? Select 'Yes' to automatically add items that are under Par Level."

- Yes (Auto) — Automatically fills in transfer quantities to bring your destination warehouse up to par levels. For example, if an item's par level is 100 and you currently have 80, a quantity of 20 is automatically added.
- No (Manual) — You select items and quantities yourself.
Set a Required By date and time, select the Origin Warehouse (where goods are coming from), and tap the orange Submit button.
