Transfers and movements
All movements is the one list of every stock movement in your store network, read from Shopify: supplies from the warehouse, transfers between stores, returns. In transit is the short list that matters on the floor today: only what is currently on its way.
You find both under Commerce > Stores > Movements. Transfers are created in Shopify and appear here automatically within a few minutes.

Read the movement page
The movement page collects everything about one transfer. The title shows the type and the reference, such as Inbound #T0012, with the status next to it. The arrows at the top right move to the previous or next movement of the list you came from.
| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Expected, Accepted, Not found | Unit counters: the units in the shipment, the units accepted (with the share of expected, or awaiting receipt), and the units not found (with review the differences when there are any). |
| Partial receipt | Only for a transfer in transit received in part. See Check a partial receipt. |
| Products | One row per line: product with image, name and size, Expected, Accepted, Not found, Reason (when some units weren't found) and Δ (accepted minus expected). Search by name, SKU or size and filter by Result (Matched, Short, Over, Not found, Pending); 25 lines per page by default. |
| Items not on this transfer | What differs from the Shopify packing list. See Review the items that differ from the packing list. |
| Route | From and To, with the day the transfer was created and the expected arrival (Arrival to be confirmed when not set). |
| Shipment | Tracking code, Carrier and Expected arrival, or Not provided when Shopify doesn't have them. |
| Timeline | The history of the movement grouped by day, most recent first, including receiving events. |
To open the same transfer in your Shopify admin, click More actions > Open in Shopify.
Download the delivery note
Steps
- Open the movement.
- Click More actions > Download delivery note (DDT).
Nucleo downloads a one-page PDF delivery note built from the transfer: origin, destination, dates and every product line with SKU, size and quantity. It's available at any stage of the transfer.
Considerations for movements
- Create and receive transfers in your Shopify admin as usual. Nucleo doesn't create transfers.
- The type of a movement depends on the names of its locations. If a warehouse shows up as a store, check its name in Shopify. See How movements are classified.
