Statistics

Statistics are used exclusively for tracking the item internally.

Deleting of Items

To delete existing items, select the items that you want to delete, followed by the "trash" icon. This will remove the selected items from the system.

In the example above, the item "Dumbbell / Barbell Set" will be removed.

Batch Update Channel Data

You can use the batch update feature to update multiple items' channel data at once. To do this, select the items you want to update and then click the 'batch update' button.

Note: Batch update channel data only updates the channel data and not the item itself.

After clicking the 'batch update' button, a pop-up window will appear where you can make the necessary changes to the selected items.

Upon saving, the changes will be applied to all the items selected.

Exporting of Items

You can export the list of items to an Excel file by clicking the "export" icon and then selecting "Export". This will generate a file containing the relevant data, which you can then save and use as needed.

You can specify the requirements for the items to be exported.

Importing of Items

You can use the "Import" feature to quickly and easily add/update large number of items in the system. To do this, you will need to upload an Excel file containing the relevant data, and the system will use this data to update the items accordingly.

Note: When using the Excel file to import new items, you should leave the "item_id" field blank in order to allow the system to automatically assign an item_id to the item.

If you enter a value in the "item_id" field, the system will attempt to update an existing item with that item_id. Additionally, it is generally a good idea to carefully review and verify the data in the Excel file before importing it, to ensure that it is accurate and complete.

Add Child Item

As a user, you have the ability to assign child items to your existing items in order to create a parent-child relationship. This can be a useful way to organise similar items, such as different color variations of a single product. Instead of creating separate listings for each color variation, you can create a parent item and assign the different colours as child items.

This allows you to have a single listing for the parent item, with the child items representing the different color options available. This can be more efficient and organized than creating separate listings for each individual color variation.

To start, click on the dropdown arrow next to the item that you would like to create the child item for. and select 'Add Child Item'.

Upon clicking, a copy of the item it will be displayed. From there, you can make any necessary changes to the details.

When creating a child item, it is important to remember to differentiate it from the other child items by considering the three points above. This will help to ensure that each child item can be easily identified and distinguished from the others.

For example, you can change the name of the item to be "10KG Dumbbell / Barbell Set - Red" to indicate that this is the red variation of the item.

To finalise the changes you've made to the child item, be sure to click the save button. It's important to note that the changes will not be saved and the child item will not be created unless the save button is pressed.

View Stock Flow

Viewing the stock flow of your items allows you to track the movement of your inventory over time. This can include the quantity of items that have been added to your inventory (such as through purchases), as well as the quantity of items that have been sold or removed from your inventory (such as through sales or returns).

By regularly reviewing the stock flow of your items, you can get a sense of how quickly your inventory is moving and identify any trends or patterns that may be emerging. This can be especially helpful for identifying which items are in high demand and may need to be restocked more frequently, as well as which items may not be selling as well and may need to be removed or discounted to move them more quickly.

In addition to helping you manage your inventory more effectively, viewing the stock flow of your items can also provide valuable insights into your overall business performance and help you make informed decisions about your product offerings.

Upon clicking, the breakdown of the item's stock flow will be presented.

View Channel Listing

Viewing Channel Listing allows you to see which channels your item are currently available for sale on.

Upon clicking, a list of the sales channels you have available will be displayed. This list will show the status of the item for each sales channel, indicating whether the item has been listed on that channel or not. 

By clicking on the item links, you can access and view the details for that particular item. From there, you have the option to modify the details as needed. When you save the changes, they will be applied to the item on the corresponding sales channel.

Do refer to the Item Links guide on how you can publish items over to the respective sales channel
