    Article summary

    This article is a part of the Mobile Item Transfers feature for the R365 App. Click here to learn about creating an Item Transfer via the web browser.

    Item transfers can be created on the fly as needed from the transfers screen. Once a transfer is sent to the receiving location, the status of the transfer will be updated on the transfers screen. Learn more about transfer statuses and workflows here.


    Create a Transfer

    To create a new transfer, first navigate to the Transfers screen, then tap the + New Transfer button on the transfers screen. This will open the new transfer form.

    New Transfer Form

    The New Transfer form has three steps that must be completed to create the Transfer:

    Step 1: General Information

    Continue

    Once the required fields are completed, tap continue to proceed to the next step.

    Step 2: Add Items

    At least one item with a non-zero quantity must be present in order to continue

    Step 3: Comments

    Transfer-level comments are required in order to send the Transfer to the Receiving Location. If comments are not added in Step 3, they must be added on the Comments tab of the transfer details screen before sending. 

    The following actions can be taken in this step:

    - Tap to add a comment

    - Tap to return to Step 2
    - Tap to finish the transfer

    Finishing the new transfer form will create the transfer and set it to the ‘In Progress’ status. The created transfer can then be viewed and edited from the transfers screen. Learn more about Transfer Statuses and Workflows here.

    Once the finish button in Step 3 is tapped, the transfer will be created and set to in progress status. The created transfer can be viewed and edited from the transfers screen.
