Mobile App - Create and Receive Inbound Transfers
Mobile Inbound Transfers enable receiving-dock work: scan, count, and place inventory. For non-compliance facilities. Create transfers, add items, then receive with barcode scanning or manual entry into designated areas.
Before you start:
- Inbound Transfers on mobile is currently available for non-compliance facilities. Facilities using Metrc or BioTrack receive cannabis transfers through the web app for now (Metrc transfers are accepted in Metrc and sync into Flourish automatically).
- You'll need mobile access to the Inbound module with the Transfers permission enabled on your user role.
- Optional but recommended: set a Default Area Upon Receiving in your facility configuration on the web app — the mobile receive screen pre-selects it.
- Matching transfers to purchase orders and the Finalize Receipt review remain web-app tasks. The mobile app is built for the receiving-dock work: scanning, counting, and putting inventory into an area.
Find your transfers:
- From the app home screen, tap Inbound, then open the Transfers tab.
- The list shows your Open transfers with the manifest number, shipper and license, a status pill (such as Pending Receipt, Partially Received, or Received), the package count, and the transfer date.
- Use the Search manifest or shipper… bar to find a specific transfer, or tap Show all to include closed transfers (tap Open only to switch back).
Create a transfer:
- On the Transfers tab, tap Create Transfer.
- Tap Select a shipper and choose the vendor sending you the inventory.
- Check the Manifest Number — the app fills in a unique number automatically, but you can type your own (the screen confirms "Manifest Number is unique").
- Tap Proceed. You'll see "Transfer created" and land on the transfer, ready to add items.
Add items to the transfer:
- On the transfer screen, tap Add item.
- Tap Select an item and pick the item. The app shows how it's tracked: Cannabis · package-level tracking or Non-cannabis · tracked by lot.
- Enter the Qty to Receive and, optionally, a Lot Number.
- Cannabis items only: you can enter an external Package ID, or leave it blank — a Package ID is generated when the line is received.
- Tap Add item. Repeat for every line on the manifest.
Receive a transfer:
- Open the transfer and tap Receive (the button shows how many lines are pending).
- Set the destination: select the Area and Location to receive into. The whole receipt goes to one destination.
- Receive each line:
- Tap Scan and scan a package barcode — the app matches it to the pending line and receives it, or
- Edit the Lot and Qty to receive on any line and tap its Receive button — enter a lower quantity for a partial receive, or
- Tap Receive all to receive every pending line at once.
- Watch the Receipt summary — it tracks Received vs Pending counts as you work. You can leave the screen at any time; your progress is saved, and the transfer shows as Partially Received until every line is in.
- When nothing is pending, tap Done. The inventory is now in Flourish, in the area and location you selected.
Best Practices:
- Set a default receiving area in Facility Configuration so the dock team doesn't have to pick one on every receipt.
- Leave the cannabis Package ID field blank when adding items unless the shipper provided external package IDs — Flourish generates IDs on receive.
- Received quantities for non-cannabis items convert using the item's vendor unit of measure, so enter the quantity as it arrives from the vendor.
Troubleshooting:
- "No pending package matches the scanned code" — the barcode doesn't match any unreceived line on this transfer. Check that you're on the right transfer and the line hasn't already been received.
- "Select a receiving area first" — your facility requires an area on receipt; pick the Area at the top of the receive screen before receiving lines.
- "Package already exists" — a package ID on the transfer already exists in your facility. Tap Replace to overwrite that inventory, or CANCEL to review before receiving.
- "This transfer is assigned to a purchase order. Receive it from the web for now." — PO-matched transfers are received on the web app.
