Dear Sir, Greeting, i have one inquire how can i add two warehouse in QBO and how to transfer inventory from one warehouse to another

Good day, @alaser-tali2019.

 

You can take advantage of our Location Tracking feature and add your warehouses as locations. I'd be glad to guide you on how to get this done.

 

To turn on the location tracking feature, here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Choose Account and Settings.
  3. Tap the Advanced tab and go to the Categories section.
  4. Click the Pencil icon and mark the Track locations then select the Location label on the drop-down arrow.
  5. Hit Save and Done.

To add the warehouses, here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select All Lists.
  2. Choose Locations and click the New button. I
  3. n the Location Information window, apply the necessary information. 
  4. Hit Save.

 

In transferring the inventory from one to another warehouse is an unavailable feature. I recommend visiting our Apps Center. You can search for a third –party inventory apps support multiple warehouses.

 

Here's how to find the Apps Center:

 

  1. On the left panel, click the Apps menu.
  2. Hit the Find Apps tab.
  3. Use the search bar to look for apps.

 

Feel free to check these articles for your reference on adjusting the item on hand in QuickBooks:

 

 

Get back to me if you have follow up questions. I'm always here to help. Have a pleasant day.

Hi, alaser-tali2019

Turn on Location from Company settings and use Expense screen to transfer from one location to another location.

For example, create a zero dollar expense, move to expense screen

01. Items section select negative quantity the items you want to move from the present location

and category section select positive amounts and inventory asset account > Save.

02. Similarly, create another zero dollar expense transaction, increase the quantity with the positive amounts and select location where you want to move the items and category section select negative amounts and inventory asset account > Save.

Use a clearing bank account to avoid any confusion.

@alaser-tali2019 ,

You can use a workaround mentioned by Rajanikanth. Another option, consider using an inventory maangement and integrating it to your QBO.

It would seem that none of the folks responding have ever used QBO, because the answers to use the location tag are wrong.
 
Location is nothing more than a tag so that you can report on it.  Location is NOT an actual location.
 
QBO does NOT do multiple locations, warehouses at all.
 
AND, in order to transfer inventory from one item to another if you tried to do it that way - can't be done in QBO because cost is unknown when you are making the entry.  QBO uses FIFO and does not allow you to see what cost will be used  when you adjust or sell inventory until after the transaction is final (multiple purchases mean multiple cost points for one item).

In an inventory management app, we may create a stock transfer document and shift stock between our warehouses. On purchase orders, we can specify the warehouse where we wish to receive the stock. When the purchase order is received it will direct the stock into that location. On sales orders, we can specify the location we wish to send goods from. The stock from that location will automatically decrease when the sales order is fulfilled. The same method is applicable to sell on consignment. We may set up a stock location and do a stock transfer to move stock into that consignment location. We can then create sales orders from that location.
