This planner is for merchants replacing manual Stocky-style transfer work with a safer worksheet. Upload a CSV with SKU, source and destination locations, current stock, and min/max or target stock rules. The tool flags missing rule data, source shortfalls, and rows that need review before a Shopify transfer is created manually or through another approved workflow.
Import blockers
Common causes this scan checks
- Stock transfers between locations need to follow daily min/max replenishment rules.
- The destination location is below its target stock but source availability is not obvious.
- Manual transfer creation from exported inventory rows is too slow for large SKU counts.
- Merchants need a review worksheet before creating Shopify transfers or API automation.
Workflow
How to use the cleaned CSV
- Prepare a CSV with SKU, source location, destination location, source stock, destination stock, min stock, and target or max stock.
- Upload the planning CSV and review missing SKU, quantity, location, and rule warnings.
- Export the transfer plan worksheet and check source shortfalls before creating transfers.
- Create the Shopify transfer manually or hand the reviewed worksheet to an approved operations workflow.
Auto-fix policy
What the export can safely change
- Detects SKU, source/destination location, stock quantity, min stock, and target stock columns.
- Calculates suggested transfer quantities from destination stock up to the min/max target.
- Caps suggestions by source availability when a source stock column is present.
- Exports a transfer planning worksheet without calling Shopify APIs or storing inventory data.
