Request a stock transfer from another store
Fred Office Plus
To request stock from another store, you can first perform a stock check to view the item's stock-on-hand levels at other stores. Next, you can create a draft transfer request, then transmit this request to the target store.
This procedure assumes that your store has already been configured to receive and send electronic transfer requests. For help with getting set up for electronic transfers, contact Fred Support.
