Q & A with Will English: today’s topic is regarding transferring the entire inventory to headquarters location. Is there an easy way to do this?

Question from a colleague: We have a QuickBooks Point of Sale V2013 multi store client closing one of their stores and wanting to transfer the entire inventory (1,500+ items) to their headquarters (HQ) location. Is there an easy way to do that?

Answer: Assuming the inventory is accurate between the two locations, I would export the inventory into Excel. Then, create a column to add the inventory in the two locations, making sure that you set the results as a fixed value.  The next step would be to map the combined column to the QTY1 field and import back in.  It is not as good as doing a transfer slip as the history will just show the change in quantity via an import, but it will be faster.
