# Transfers

> Net stock transfers between your warehouses for the product in the period

## What it tells you

Transfers shows the **net stock transfers** between your warehouses for the product in each period — the balance of what is moving in versus what is moving out. It nets inbound and outbound moves into a single number per time bucket, so a positive value means the location is receiving more than it sends, and a negative value means it is sending more than it receives. It appears as a row for each product on the [Supply planning](/guide/supply-planning/overview) grid.

## How to read it

Expand a Transfers cell to split the net figure into two sub-rows:

* **In** — inbound moves arriving at this warehouse
* **Out** — outbound moves leaving this warehouse (shown as negative)

Both sub-rows are grouped by the **other warehouse** involved, so you can see exactly where stock is coming from and going to.

## What to do about it

Use Transfers to **rebalance** your network — move surplus or stranded stock from where it sits idle to where it is short:

* **Hover** a Transfers cell to reveal a **"+"** that opens **Create Transfer Order**, prefilled with the quantity and dates.
* Set up transfers to relieve a location heading toward a stockout, or to clear stranded stock flagged elsewhere on the grid.

## Example

One warehouse is projected to run short next period while another holds a comfortable surplus. You hover the Transfers cell on the short location, click the **"+"**, and a transfer order opens prefilled with the quantity and dates to move stock from the surplus site. The net Transfers value at the receiving warehouse turns positive; at the sending warehouse it shows the matching negative move.

> **Tip:** Transfers is the main tool for moving stranded stock — the inventory flagged with a yellow **"S"** on the [Available](/available) row. See [Transfer orders](/guide/supply-planning/transfer-orders) for the full transfer workflow.
