Transfer line quantities
Each line on a transfer is shown as a row with these columns.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Item | The variant being moved — its SKU and product name. |
| Requested | The quantity you asked for when the line was added in Draft. |
| Progress | A bar plus a running figure below it, showing the line's furthest stage: received against requested (for example "3/10 received"), on the van (for example "2 on the van"), picked (for example "5 picked"), held against requested (for example "3/10 held") — or plain "requested" if nothing has happened yet. |
| Held | The quantity reserved at specific source locations when the transfer was confirmed. |
| Picked | The quantity relocated out of its source locations into the source site's in-transit location at dispatch. |
| Received | The quantity checked in at the destination site. |
| On van | The quantity dispatched but not yet accounted for at the destination — picked, minus everything resolved. |
| Short at source | Requested minus held: the quantity the source site couldn't hold at confirm. Shown under Held at the top of the transfer as "N short at source", not as a line column. |
Above the lines, the transfer's own summary strip reads Created · Lines · Requested · Held, totalling the same figures across every line.
Only the requested quantity is stored
Requested is the one figure Yessort keeps as a number on the line. Everything else on the row is worked out from the transfer's own activity each time you look at it — Held from the holds still standing at the source locations, Picked from what dispatch actually moved, Received from the receipts checked in at the destination.
That is why the figures stay in step with what's actually happening: Picked and Received are read straight back from stock movements, while Held instead reflects the reservations still standing at the source locations — a hold, not a movement in its own right.
How On van is calculated
On van is the picked quantity minus everything that has been resolved: received at the destination, returned to the source site's stock, or written off. Returned and written-off quantities aren't columns of their own, but they count against On van exactly as a receipt does — which is why writing units off makes the figure fall without anything arriving anywhere.
It never goes below zero, and the transfer completes once On van is zero on every line and nothing is still held for a later dispatch. For the three ways to clear it, see transfer shortfalls.
