- Channel Advisor has a SKU record with lots of attributes
- One attribute is a Label (TAG) of the marketplaces it is live on - a single field with multiple comma delimited tabs
- 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.
- For each marketplace - there is attributes used for related prices - or the default is used
- The stock level available is shown on all marketplaces
- Distribution centres have stock levels - have two now (sydney and melbourne) - usually products are only in one warehouse so not a problem
- Amazon is an option but not used.
- Stock changes can be absolution or incremental etc.
- One attribute is a Label (TAG) of the marketplaces it is live on - a single field with multiple comma delimited tabs
- Stock levels are tracked by Channel Advisor as sales come in from the marketplaces
- Absolute re-setting of stock levels is required regularly
- To avoid the stock levels getting out of sync
- When stock levels move on products that may run out - may need to send an incremental stock adjustment
- ie - 7 sold via another channel
- Useful if orders coming in quickly and stock levels are low to avoid orders already in Channel Advisor but not yet in SaaS
- Absolute re-setting of stock levels is required regularly
This is the channel advisor API requirements
