In this article we'll handle different stock situations and where to adjust your stock.
Stock needs to be in synchronization to work well for your business. Within e-tailize you can have different set-ups, which will determine where you can adjust your stock.Set-up 1: ERP system or Warehousemanagement system that sends through stock to your webshop and should synchronize stock to your marketplaces.
For this set-up, you have an ERP or WMS-system connected to your webshop. This ERP/WMS system updates the products stock to your webshop. From the webshop, the stock should be synchronized to e-tailize and all your marketplaces.Please note that a WMS-system like Lyra or Picqer can be directly connected to e-tailize and requires a different set-up.
Set-up for the stock & order management screen
Within the stock management screen, please put all toggles on, except for PIM (left) to Webshop (above).
If you want to set your stock straight, do the following steps:
- Make sure there is no negative stock in the webshop. If so; adjust the stock to 0.
- export a .csv from your webshop and import EAN and Stock to e-tailize. This will send absolute values to all marketplaces and synchronize your stock.
Making manual stock changes in e-tailize, the webshop or the marketplace will lead to stock discrepancies.
Your stock is now in sync between your webshop, e-tailize and all your marketplaces.
Set-up 2: Webshop that that sends through stock to e-tailize and all marketplaces
For this set-up, you have a webshop connected to e-tailize and all your marketplaces are connected to e-tailize. You want to synchronize the products stock between your webshop, e-tailize and all connected marketplaces.Set-up for the stock & order management screen
Within the stock management screen, please put all toggles on to each other.
If you want to set your stock straight, do the following steps:
- Import a .csv file directly in to e-tailize to synchronize the stock between e-tailize, your marketplaces and your webshop.
Once your stock is in sync and you want to make stock changes manually, you can do so in your webshop, or in e-tailize. Please keep in mind that a webshop will always communicate a + stock or a - stock towards all channels and e-tailize will directly change the stock to the stock amount you filled in.
When the stock is not in sync, changing the stock in your webshop will not synchronize to all channels, but simply add or reduce stock. This will cause stock discrepancies. When this happens, a sync is needed. Please note that you can not change the stock on the marketplaces itself.
Set-up 3: Warehouse management system sends through stock to e-tailize and all marketplaces
For this set-up, you have a Warehouse management system like Picqer or Lyra connected to e-tailize, and all your marketplaces are connected to e-tailize. You want to synchronize the products stock between your Warehousehouse management system and all your other channels connected to e-tailize.Set-up for the stock & order management screen
Within the stock management screen, please put the toggles on from the warehouse management system (left) towards all connected channels (upper)
If you want to set your stock straight, do one of the following steps:
- Import a .csv file directly in to e-tailize to synchronize the stock between e-tailize, your marketplaces and your webshop.
- Wait until there is an order for your product. The Warehouse management system will send the new stock levels of that product through to e-tailize and all connected marketplaces.
If you want to change stock of your products, please adjust the stock in your warehouse management system. Changing stock anywhere else than your warehouse management system will be overwritten.
Set-up 4: e-tailize synchronizes stock to all your marketplaces
For this set-up, you do not have a webshop, warehouse management system. You are using e-tailize to synchronize the stock between e-tailize and your marketplaces.Set-up for the stock & order management screen
Within the stock management screen, please put all toggles on.
If you want to set your stock straight, do one of the following:
