Open Warehouse Transfer

PUT 
/api/warehouses/transfers/:transfer/open

Opens a draft warehouse transfer, making it active. Opening validates that the transfer has line items and allocates stock at the source warehouse.

Required scope: warehouses:write

Grant this scope to your token under Settings → Developer → Personal Access Tokens.

Optionally accepts the same fields as Update Warehouse Transfer to apply changes while opening, plus force_shipment (boolean) to immediately create a shipment for the full quantities.

Returns 400 when the transfer is already open, has no products, or stock is insufficient.

Authentication: Requires Bearer token.

401

Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.

403

Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.

404

Not found — no record with the given identifier (or the route does not exist). Verify the ID before retrying.

422

Validation failed — the body is a field → messages map (Laravel shape) or the platform envelope with a stable machine-readable code. Fix the payload and resubmit.

429

Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
