How to send inventory to the warehouse
Updated Oct 2026 · 3 min read
Booking a shipment tells the warehouse what is coming, so your cartons are counted, photographed and shelved within 24 hours of arrival. It takes about ten minutes.
1Open Inbound and click Send inventory
In the console, go to Products, then Inbound, and click Send inventory. Each shipment gets a code like ASN2419 that the dock team scans on arrival.
2Add the carrier and cartons
Pick the carrier, add the tracking number if you have one, and enter how many cartons you are sending and when they should arrive. You can add tracking later, until the shipment reaches the warehouse.
3List your SKUs
Add one line per SKU with the units you are sending. Receiving counts against these lines and photographs any difference.
4Print the carton labels
Click Book inbound shipment. On the shipment page, click Print labels for one label per carton, and send them to your supplier before the goods leave.
Your merchant code must be on every carton. A carton without it waits in the unidentified queue, which adds 1–3 days before shelving. The labels carry your code (like M417) and the shipment code.
5Follow it until it is received
The shipment moves from Expected to In transit, Arrived, Receiving and Received. If the count does not match what you booked, it shows Discrepancy with photos. QC photos of the opened cartons attach at receiving.
