Transit reports track inventory moving between warehouses, providing visibility into inter-warehouse transfers, shipping documentation, and stock in transit. These reports support multi-warehouse operations, transfer accountability, and inventory reconciliation during warehouse-to-warehouse movements.

Understanding Transit Tracking
Transit reports provide critical visibility when inventory moves between warehouses in multi-warehouse operations. These reports answer key questions:
Transit Documentation answers “What is being shipped?” with detailed transit slips showing items, quantities, serial numbers, origin and destination warehouses, and tracking references for shipping documentation.
Stock in Transit answers “What’s currently moving?” by showing items with “In Transit” hold status that have been shipped from the source warehouse but not yet received at the destination warehouse.
Transfer History answers “What has been transferred?” through complete audit trails of inter-warehouse movements including timing, quantities, users, and reference numbers for reconciliation and analysis.
Transit Workflows
Inventory Pro supports two transit workflows that generate different reporting needs:
Staged Transits (default behavior) use a two-step ship/receive process:
- Items shipped from source warehouse → “In Transit” hold status
- Items received at destination warehouse → Available at new location
- Transit slip tracks movement with unique ID and line item details
Direct Transits (Admin Option 507) transfer immediately without intermediate hold status, requiring only standard movement reports rather than transit-specific documentation.
See Transit Stock for complete workflow documentation.
