Use this report to periodically check transfer locations (e.g. WH/Input, WH/Pre-Processing) to ensure items are moved to their intended storage locations, and accurately recorded in the database.

To get a list of items that might be sitting idly in storage, follow these steps:

1. Go to Inventory app ‣ Reporting ‣ Locations.

2. In the search bar, begin typing the name of the location where products are intended to be moved to, such as [WH/Input], or [WH/Packing].

3. Select the Search Location for: [location name] option from the resulting drop-down menu that appears beneath the search bar.

   

The report now displays a list of products at the transit location.

Searching [Input] in Location shows a list of products at a WH/Input location.

The list shows [500] quantities of [Chicken], which is alarming if not refrigerated soon after reception. The stranded inventory report helps identify items that have been idling in non-storage locations.
