# Transfer Suggestions

> Rebalance stock between locations and create transfers in Shopify

The **Transfer Suggestions** report spots stock imbalances between your locations - surplus in one, a shortfall in another - and suggests moving units to rebalance. It's a live, actionable report: you can create the transfer in Shopify and track it through to receipt without leaving Stockful.

**Key columns**: product, variant, SKU, the **Origin** and **Destination** locations (with their current stock and days of cover), and the suggested transfer quantity. On multi-location stores you can filter by **Origin** and **Destination**.

## Tabs

* **Suggested** - current rebalance suggestions
* **In progress** - transfers you've created from Stockful, with their live status
* **Dismissed** - suggestions you've hidden

## Creating a transfer

Click **Create transfer** on a row, adjust the quantity if needed (it defaults to the suggested amount), add an optional note, and confirm. Stockful creates the transfer in Shopify as a **draft** (tagged `stockful`) and moves the row to the **In progress** tab.

<Note>
  Stockful never moves stock on its own. A created transfer is a **draft** - nothing leaves the origin until you mark it ready to ship and ship it in Shopify, exactly as you would for a transfer created by hand.
</Note>

Once you ship it in Shopify the status updates here (**Draft → Ready to ship → In transit**), the units count as [incoming](/user-guide/inventory) at the destination, and the row drops off the **In progress** tab once the transfer is received or canceled.

## Dismissing suggestions

If a suggestion isn't useful, **dismiss** it (with an optional reason) to hide it. Dismissed suggestions move to the **Dismissed** tab, where you can **restore** them. A dismissed suggestion that's no longer relevant clears itself automatically.

Created transfers are standard [Shopify inventory transfers](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/inventory/inventory-transfers) - you manage, mark ready to ship, ship, and receive them in Shopify exactly as you would any other transfer.

<Tip>
  Creating transfers uses the `write_inventory_transfers` permission granted at install. Stockful only ever creates drafts - it never ships or receives on your behalf.
