How to track products out for repair

The easiest way to track your items out for repair is to create a new inventory location and use the Transfer Stock feature to move items to this location while they’re being repaired.

Web

Creating a repair location

To create a new location for your items out for repair:

  1. Go to the inFlow Inventory settings (Main Menu>Options>Inventory.)
  2. Click on Locations.
  3. Select Add location to create a location called “Repair” in inFlow. 
  4. Click Save when done. 

This method doesn’t remove the product from your inventory and will still count toward your quantity on hand while it’s out for repair. Keep this in mind when doing a stock count!

Transferring products to the repair location

When your product goes out for repair, you can transfer the product from its current location to the “Repair” location using the Transfer Stock feature.

  1. Create a stock transfer. (Main Menu >  New stock transfer.)
  2. Select the location of where the product is to the Repair location.  
  3. Click on Add products to select the product. 
  4. Click Send Transfer. 
  5. Select Receive transfer to complete the transfer of the product to the new “Repair” location.

When your product is returned to you, use the Transfer Stock feature to move it from the “Repair” location to its location in your inventory.
