Lightspeed Transfers Sync
How Lightspeed Transfers map to Ramp Transfer Orders
Overview
Ramp retrieves stock transfers from Lightspeed and recreates them as transfer orders. Changes are detected at each sync interval.
Lightspeed refers to stock transfers as a type of consignment called "OUTLET".
Lifecycle behaviour
- When a Stock Transfer is created in Lightspeed, it is created as a draft first and the status is Open.
- The transfer is synced into Locafi as a transfer order.
- At the source outlet, the transfer is packed up and scanned using the RFID handheld to validate that the correct quantities are being dispatched.
- The dispatch of the transfer is completed on the RFID handheld.
- When the stock has been delivered, the transfer is received by scanning the stock using the RFID handheld.
- The transfer is completed using the RFID handheld.
- Once the Transfer is fully received on the RFID handheld, the received quantities reflect what was received, inventory counts are updated, and the Stock Transfer in Lightspeed is marked as Received.
