What moves where, per transition

Transition	Origin	Destination	Shopify push
Draft → Sent	on-hand decreases by planned quantity	incoming increases by planned quantity	yes
Sent → Partially Received	unchanged	incoming → on-hand (per received line)	yes
Partially Received → Received	unchanged	remaining incoming → on-hand	yes
Sent or Partially Received → Cancelled	un-received quantity added back to on-hand	remaining incoming zeroed	yes
Draft → Cancelled	no effect	no effect	no
→ On Hold / Resumed	no effect	no effect	no
Received / Partially Received → Completed	no inventory change — unlocks reconciliation tools	no inventory change	no

Notes:

• At Send time, the planned quantity is what moves — there’s no separate “shipped quantity” you enter at dispatch.
• Cancellation only restores what the system already pushed to Shopify. Already-received quantities stay at the destination — they’re not pulled back. Use a stock take if you need to clean that up.
• Editing the shipping date or carrier doesn’t push to Shopify — those are app-only details.

Note

3PL-managed available stock. If your fulfillment partner owns Shopify available inventory, turn on Disable Shopify available inventory movements in TO settings → Preferences. With it on, the on-hand / available changes in the table above (origin decrement on Send, destination move-in on Receive) are left to your 3PL — Logistified still pushes the incoming changes and keeps its own tracking in sync.

Why “incoming” matters at the destination

Even before the goods arrive, Logistified marks them as incomingIncoming quantityUnits expected to arrive from open purchase orders and in-transit transfer orders. Shopify maintains its own incoming counter; Logistified updates it from PO/TO workflow, and Incoming Reconciliation may require a manual apply if the two drift. Read more → at the destination. This lets the forecast at the destination see the upcoming stock, so reorder suggestions there don’t ask for more than you need.

Multi-location forecasting

When you have a TO in Sent state:

• The destination’s “Days of stock with all incoming” reflects the in-transit units.
• The origin’s stock dropped at Send time, so it shows accurate on-hand.

Note

TOs and POs both contribute to a location’s “incoming” total. The forecast adds them up so reorder suggestions take both into account.
