    Backbar does not track real-time inventory by location, but you can use the Transfer functionality to help you keep an audit log or record of what, when and where you transfer different products.

    2. Select the items you want to transfer using the checkboxes next to each item

    3. Next, click the Actions button, and select Transfer from the drop-down menu.

    How to see all transfers within a date range

    This feature can be helpful to move product to a different venue within your organization.  But it can also be used to transfer a specified amount of product to a location so you can keep track of how much inventory is moved to accommodate a private event, for example.  Note that items need not be transferred in the course of general operations as this is by design in Backbar, read more here.
