# Inventory Transfers

> Learn how to transfer inventory between Jetpack fulfillment centers or to external facilities using WROs and B2B orders.

<div className="page-intro">
  Inventory transfers enable you to strategically move inventory between Jetpack fulfillment centers, hubs, or to external facilities like Amazon. This guide walks you through the complete process of creating both the Warehouse Receiving Order (WRO) and corresponding B2B order needed to complete your transfer.
</div>

## Inventory Transfers Overview

Inventory transfers help you optimize your fulfillment strategy by moving stock between two Jetpack warehouses or from Jetpack to an external facility. These transfers enable faster shipping options, reduce costs, and maintain optimal inventory distribution across your fulfillment network.

All transfers are subject to standard shipping fees, receiving fees, and service level agreements.

<Warning title="Important: No Cash on Delivery">
  Under no circumstances should cash on delivery (COD) be requested when scheduling a transfer.
</Warning>

### International Transfer Requirements

For inventory transfers to fulfillment centers outside of the United States, you will need to provide:

* A prepaid label with DDP service
* Pre-arranged freight with a customs broker
* A commercial invoice indicating that you are the Importer of Record ([template available here](https://support.shipbob.com/s/article/kb-1709835774759))

**Important:** If Jetpack is listed as the Importer on Record/Sold, a 15% accessorial fee will be billed back to you.

***

## Step 1: Create a Warehouse Receiving Order (WRO)

Creating a WRO is the first step because you'll need to upload the box labels to your B2B order later.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Receiving">
    Click **Receiving** on the left-hand side, then select **Receiving Orders**, and click the blue **Send Inventory** button to start the WRO creation process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Destination and PO Number">
    Choose the Jetpack warehouse or hub you are sending inventory to. Optionally, insert a Purchase Order number (PO#), then click **Save & Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Products">
    Begin typing the name of each product and select it from the search results. Enter the quantity to send for each product. Optionally, mark any product as a lot/dangerous good and check the confirmation box if applicable. Click **Save & Continue** when done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Your Shipping Method">
    Select your shipping method based on how you're sending the inventory:

    **Parcel Shipments:**

    * Configure the B2B order as Parcel
    * When prompted, select "One SKU per Box"
    * Choose your label option:
      * Discounted printable labels from Jetpack
      * Purchase your own labels
      * Use your own carrier

    **Palletized Container or Less than Truckload (LTL):**

    * Configure the B2B order as Freight
    * Select "One SKU per Pallet"
    * Note: The team will consolidate inventory when possible

    **Floor Loaded Container:**

    * Also configure as Freight
    * Provide a breakdown of total units per box/pallet and the number of boxes/pallets being shipped
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Shipping Details">
    Review the shipping address to ensure it matches the receiving fulfillment center. Enter the estimated date of arrival (calculate 10 business days from the current date/local time of the receiving center). Optionally, upload your Bill of Lading (BOL) if applicable (this appears only for freight configurations).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit the WRO">
    Review all details and click **Submit Receiving Order**. Confirm the submission when prompted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download Box Labels">
    **Download the box labels** for later upload to your B2B order, then click **Done** to complete the process. You'll be redirected to the completed WRO page.

    <Tip title="Keep Those Labels Handy">
      Save the downloaded box labels immediately—you'll need to upload them to your B2B order in the next step.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Step 2: Submit a B2B Order

Once your WRO is complete, create a B2B order to prep the inventory for shipment.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Orders">
    Click **Orders** on the left-hand side, then **All Orders**. Click **New Order** at the top right.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Business Order Type">
    Select **Business**, then click **Next – Recipient Info**.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/jetpack/ur_5BjSzf7SmVftd/images/b2b/inventory-transfers-business-order-selection.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ur_5BjSzf7SmVftd&q=85&s=7dc0e6f3bdbd82b875f4dac415c7783a" alt="Order type selection screen with Business option highlighted" className="screenshot" width="512" height="443" data-path="images/b2b/inventory-transfers-business-order-selection.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Recipient Information">
    Ensure that details reflect the same information as your WRO:

    * **For transfers within the United States**: Provide Jetpack's email address ([support@shipbob.com](mailto:support@shipbob.com)) and phone number (312-313-1104)
    * **For transfers outside the United States**: Insert information of the individual handling the customs brokerage for this shipment
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Packing Instructions and Upload Labels">
    In the "Special Instructions for packing and assembly" field, copy and paste the following text (customize the bracketed sections):

    *"This is a Jetpack transfer order to \[INSERT THE ADDRESS OF YOUR DESTINATION FULFILLMENT CENTER HERE]. Please pack one SKU per box and arrange it in accordance with the attached WRO labels. WRO labels have been attached for \[INSERT YOUR WRO # HERE]; Please make sure to attach the WRO labels to each parcel or pallet. Since this is a prepaid shipment, I will attach the required documentation once the shipment is packed."*

    Upload the box labels downloaded during the WRO process by clicking **Other Attachment**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Source Fulfillment Center">
    Select the fulfillment center from which you are transferring inventory.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/jetpack/ur_5BjSzf7SmVftd/images/b2b/inventory-transfers-fulfillment-center-selection.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ur_5BjSzf7SmVftd&q=85&s=6ac05a22b156fd0ee05250301b8ce0f6" alt="Fulfillment center selection dropdown showing available locations" className="screenshot" width="512" height="243" data-path="images/b2b/inventory-transfers-fulfillment-center-selection.png" />

    <Warning title="Important">
      Do not select "Let Jetpack Optimize for Me" for inventory transfers. You must manually select the originating fulfillment center.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add SKU-Level Instructions">
    In the "Insert any special instructions for these SKUs" field, copy and paste the following text (customize the bracketed section):

    *"This is a Jetpack transfer order to \[INSERT YOUR DESTINATION FULFILLMENT CENTER HERE]. Please pack one SKU per box and arrange it in accordance with the attached WRO labels."*
  </Step>
</Steps>
