How the recommendation is built
For every SKU sold in the selected window the report computes per-location velocity (units sold / days in window), days of supply (on-hand / velocity), and a target on-hand equal to velocity times your chosen target days of cover.
For each SKU, the engine then picks one donor (the location whose days-of-supply most exceeds the donor threshold, ranked by how overstocked it is) and one recipient (a location with days-of-supply below the recipient threshold, demonstrated demand in the window, and the highest velocity). The recommended transfer quantity is the smaller of what the recipient needs to reach target and what the donor can spare while staying above its own target.
Ranked by margin upside
Each recommendation carries an estimated upside equal to the recommended quantity times the SKU’s unit margin (retail minus wholesale), and a priority score that boosts rows where the recipient is closer to a hard stockout. The list defaults to highest-upside first, so the next transfer worth doing is on row one.
Every column is data-derived; nothing is guessed. The recommendation is auditable from the row alone - you can see exactly why a SKU appears, why a donor was chosen, and what the projected return looks like.
Tunable thresholds
- Sales window. Defaults to the last 60 days; pick whatever cadence matches your buy.
- Target days of cover. The on-hand each location should ideally hold. Drives both the recipient’s need and the donor’s target.
- Donor minimum days of supply. Floor before a location qualifies as a donor.
- Recipient maximum days of supply. Ceiling before a location qualifies as a recipient.
- Minimum recipient units sold. Proves real demand at the recipient before recommending a move.
- Minimum recommended quantity. Hides tiny rows so the list stays actionable.
Report-only by design
Vendee Pro does not create transfer documents or push on-hand changes between locations on your behalf. The Transfer List is a recommendation engine; the actual movement of stock is a workflow that belongs in your POS — Shopify today, with Heartland Retail and more on the roadmap — where staff already track in-transit, ship/receive, and reconciliation. The report tells you what to move and why; you execute the move in the system that owns the inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Does Vendee Pro create transfer documents or move on-hand between my locations?
No. The Transfer List is report-only. You execute the actual stock move in your POS using its native transfer workflow; the next mirror sync brings the updated on-hand counts back to Vendee Pro.
What sales window does the report use?
Configurable per run. The default is the last 60 days, which smooths weekly noise without going too stale. You can shorten the window for fast-moving categories or lengthen it for slow ones.
How does the priority score work?
Priority is estimated upside (recommended quantity × unit margin) boosted by a stockout-severity factor that rises as the recipient’s days-of-supply approach zero. Highest priority first puts the most valuable + most urgent moves on row one.
Can I schedule it?
Yes. Like any Studio report, the Transfer List can be saved with your thresholds and scheduled for recurring email delivery as CSV, XLSX, or PDF.
