Step 3: Set Date Range

Choose the date type with two options: Created/Modified Date or Transaction Date.

Created/Modified Date refers to when the inventory transfer was originally created in QuickBooks or last edited.

Transaction Date is the date on the inventory transfer itself.

Select a range using the custom date picker, or pick from quick options like Today, From yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, etc.

Step 4: Set Export Template

Use the default SaasAnt template for standard inventory transfer fields.

To customize, click the “+” icon, select desired fields (for example: transfer date, reference number, source site, destination site, item, quantity, memo), name the template, and save it for reuse.

Step 5: Apply Filters (Optional)

No filters are available for Inventory Transfers in the Export Filter tab.

Use the Date Range in Step 3 to narrow the results before you run the search.

Step 6: Adjust Settings

Customize the export output via settings to match your reporting or integration needs.

Date Format: Switch between formats like MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY for compatibility with other systems.

Show Transaction Lines: Include detailed item lines for each inventory transfer instead of summary-only output.

Show Account Numbers: Add numeric account codes alongside names when needed for review.

Toggle settings on or off as needed.
