# Ask another location for stock

Raise the request, submit it to the sending location, let them accept — reserving the stock and starting the transfer — or decline it; open a regular lane between two locations that move stock often.

Warehouse · a play in 3 steps.

## The steps

1. Raise the request and submit it — the pull request reaches the sending location. — [createTransferRequest](/reference/inventory-operations/createTransferRequest/), [submitTransferRequest](/reference/inventory-operations/submitTransferRequest/)
2. The sender accepts — the stock reserves and the transfer paperwork starts — or declines. — [acceptTransferRequest](/reference/inventory-operations/acceptTransferRequest/), [rejectTransferRequest](/reference/inventory-operations/rejectTransferRequest/)
3. Open a regular lane — a named sender-to-receiver route — and see which lanes serve a move best. — [createTransferLane](/reference/transfer-lane/createTransferLane/), [transferLaneRanking](/reference/reading-your-records/transferLaneRanking/)

## The calls

Every operation this use case runs, in the order it first appears, with the request and the response its reference page shows.
