Picking transfer orders in Finale Inventory is a simple process when using the mobile barcode scanner. This guide walks you through setting up your transfer order, printing barcoded documents, picking items in the warehouse, and syncing back to the Finale web application.
Accessing Transfer Orders
From the Inventory dropdown menu, select Stock Transfers.
In the Stock Transfer submenu, click Transfer Orders.
Choose the transfer order you want to pick.
Important:
-
Ensure the transfer order is in Committed status.
Draft or Completed orders will not sync to the mobile barcode scanner.
-
Decide how the transfer will be received:
With a Transit Sublocation: Items will be automatically received into the defined transit sublocation once picked.
Without a Transit Sublocation: The order will sync back in Shipped status, and you will need to manually receive it later.
Print the Transfer Order with a Barcode
In the transfer order, click the dropdown next to Print Transfer Order.
Select Print Transfer Order with Barcode.
Use this barcoded document in the warehouse when scanning with the mobile barcode scanner.
Sync Your Mobile Barcode Scanner
On the scanner’s main menu, choose Option 1 – Sync.
Log in if prompted.
Confirm and complete the sync to load your transfer order.
Pick the Transfer Order
From the main menu, select More > Option 6 (Transfers).
Choose Option 2 – Pick Transfer Order.
Scan the barcode at the top of the printed transfer order.
-
Follow the prompts to pick items:
The scanner will direct you to the correct sublocation.
Scan the sublocation barcode.
Scan the product barcode(s) for the required quantity.
Repeat until all items are picked.
Once all picks are complete, the scanner will confirm that the order is done.
Sync the Completed Pick
Return to the main menu on the scanner.
Select Option 1 – Sync again.
Confirm login if needed and sync your data back to the Finale web application.
Verify in Finale Web Application
Open the transfer order in Finale.
You’ll see a Transfer Shipment created based on your scan.
-
Shipment status depends on your setup:
Transit Sublocation Defined: The shipment will be in Received status automatically.
No Transit Sublocation: The shipment will appear in Ship status, and you can click into it to Receive Shipment manually.
Tips
Always confirm the transfer order is Committed before scanning.
If you use multiple sublocations, scanning each item individually ensures accurate tracking.
Sync before and after picking to keep data up to date.
