1. Channel Advisor has a SKU record with lots of attributes
   1. One attribute is a Label (TAG) of the marketplaces it is live on - a single field with multiple comma delimited tabs
      1. Labels trigger rules to put the product live on the marketplace nominated > BDirect made these rules and included the TAGS to manage the multiple marketplaces.  no Label it is not live - label it is live.
   2. For each marketplace - there is attributes used for related prices - or the default is used
   3. The stock level available is shown on all marketplaces
      1. Distribution centres have stock levels - have two now (sydney and melbourne) - usually products are only in one warehouse so not a problem
      2. Amazon is an option but not used.
      3. Stock changes can be absolution or incremental etc.
2. Stock levels are tracked by Channel Advisor as sales come in from the marketplaces
   1. Absolute re-setting of stock levels is required regularly
      1. To avoid the stock levels getting out of sync
   2. When stock levels move on products that may run out - may need to send an incremental stock adjustment
      1. ie - 7 sold via another channel
      2. Useful if orders coming in quickly and stock levels are low to avoid orders already in Channel Advisor but not yet in SaaS
