# Rebalance plans

> Transfer inventory between your own shops to optimize stock distribution.

A **rebalance plan** moves inventory between two of your own shops — taking slow movers
from one location and sending them where they'll sell, to reduce markdown risk and
improve assortment.

## Lifecycle

```
Draft → Validated → Sent → Closed
```

* **Draft** — build the transfer.
* **Validated** — all items ready.
* **Sent** — the transfer is initiated from the outgoing shop to the incoming shop.
* **Closed** — archived.

## Items

One line per **variant × size**; the outgoing and incoming shops are defined on the plan
header, so they're implicit on each item. Items carry `To review` → `Ready for order`
statuses.

## Rules & approval

Rebalance has **no approval gate**. Rules still apply when adding items — typically
checking the source shop's remaining stock, transfer relevance, and size curves. Because
a transfer involves two shops, rules are evaluated for **both** the outgoing and incoming
shop. See [Plan lifecycle & approvals](/en/inventory-plans/lifecycle).

## Where it comes from

Rebalance suggestions are driven by transfer-urgency / surplus / deficit scores and can
be generated by workflows that match surplus shops to deficit shops.
