Inventory transfers move inventory from one DataNinja location to another without changing the inventory quantity. Use this workflow when the physical inventory is moving between bins, rooms, warehouses, production areas, or any other tracked location.

Transfer Inventory to Another Location

To transfer inventory, tap "Adjust" and select "Inventory".

Scan the inventory identifier you want to move, then click 'Transfer' in the dropdown next to 'Adjust'. Finally, scan the destination location barcode and tap "Transfer".

Notes and Reason Codes
Adding a note to an inventory transfer is a helpful way to explain why the inventory moved, and will appear in the transaction log. If your team wants notes to be required, go to the Reason Code Actions page in DataNinja, click Edit on the relevant line and mark 'Requires Note' on each of the actions you want to require a note on.
Reason Codes allow for categorization of specific actions within DataNinja. See our Reason Codes page for more details.

Partial Transfers

Use a partial transfer when you only want to move part of the available inventory quantity.

Scan the inventory identifier, then edit the "Quantity to Transfer" field to the amount you want to move. After you complete the transfer, DataNinja may print a new barcode for the transferred quantity, depending on your Tracking Type settings.

The new barcode remains traceable back to the original inventory identifier.

Indirect Transfers

Some workflows transfer inventory as part of another action. The most common examples are license plate transfers and cycle counts.

License Plate Transfers

If inventory is assigned to a License Plate Number (LPN), the inventory moves with the license plate when the license plate is transferred.

Cycle Counts

When you complete a Cycle Count for an inventory location, DataNinja transfers counted inventory into the count location if it is not already there.

Use Kanban when you need item-location alerts for safety stock or replenishment. A Kanban creates a threshold for a specific part in a specific inventory location.
