DEAR Inventory allows product management in your sales channels on a product's details page (Inventory → Products → [select product]), specifically under the Channels tab. Here, you can view the product's quantities in DEAR and, if applicable, in your sales channel stores, and see if a product is already listed in your sales channel store or not. In addition, you can list, unlist or remove a product from a store, and update the product information as shown on a store. You must have your products set up first before you can post them to a sales channel.

Prerequisites

  • Set up Products (required)
  • Set up Locations (required)
  • Connect one or more Sales Channels (required)
  • Map Locations to Sales Channels (recommended)
  • Users will need the Inventory: Products & Families permission in order to use this feature. 


NOTE: Sales Channels locations are mapped from the Integrations module. If locations have not been mapped, the default location for your organisation will be used for picking. For POS channels, the POS Outlet location is used for picking.

Listing a Product in a Sales Channel Store

[back to top]


Once you have set up your products and locations, and integrated your DEAR account and mapped your locations with your sales channels, you can start listing your products on your sales channel stores.


To list a product in a sales channel store:

  1. Navigate to Inventory → Products.
  2. Select the product you wish to list to the store.
  3. Click the Channels tab.
  4. Under the Actions column, click List. DEAR will then attempt to list the product to the sales channel store.


You will be kept informed of the listing status via email notification. When the product gets listed on the sales channel, the status of the product on the Channels tab is changed from Not Listed to Listed. Stock quantity held in inventory will be reflected in the sales channel.


NOTE: If you have set up DEAR B2B as a sales channel, available quantity will reflect the stock quantity held in the specified portal location on the DEAR B2B Setup page. If a portal location is not specified, available quantity will reflect the stock quantity held in all locations.


Pushing Updated Product Information to a Sales Channel Store

Unlisting a Product from a Sales Channel

  2. Select the product you wish to unlist from the store.
  3. Click the Channels tab.
  4. Under the Actions column, click Unlist. DEAR will then attempt to unlist the product from the sales channel store. You will be kept informed of the status of your action via email notification.


Removing a Product from a Sales Channel

[back to top]


If you are no longer carrying a product in your inventory, you may permanently remove it from a sales channel store. Once removed, you have to list the product again following the procedure in Listing a Product on a Sales Channel Store.


To remove a product from a sales channel:

  1. Navigate to Inventory  → Products.
  2. Select the product you wish to remove from the store.
  3. Click the Channels tab.
  4. Under the Actions column, click Remove. DEAR will then attempt to remove the product to the sales channel store. You will be kept informed of the status of the action via email notification.
