Managing Listing Inventory Updates

In addition to standard allocation settings for the store, you can customize allocation settings for individual listings. These changes can range from minor adjustments to entirely different settings.

Setting Custom Allocation for a Listing

To customize allocation settings for a single listing, follow these steps:

1. From the left sidebar, go to Listings › Listings.
2. Select a listing to open its details.
3. On the Inventory Allocation card, click Override for this listing.
4. Select the store location targets.
5. Choose the inventory sources.
6. Set the quantity thresholds.
7. Click Save to apply your changes.

Standard allocation settings must be configured for the store before applying custom settings to a specific listing.

Click the Advanced Allocation button to configure custom advanced settings for the listing.

Removing Custom Allocation from a Listing

To remove custom allocation for a listing and revert to the standard store settings, follow these steps:

1. From the left sidebar, go to Listings › Listings.
2. Select a listing to open its details.
3. On the Inventory Allocation card, click the pencil icon to edit.
4. Check Use store default allocation settings.
5. Click Save to apply your changes.

Disabling Allocation for a Listing

2. Select a listing to open its details.
3. On the Inventory Allocation card, click Override for this listing.
4. Uncheck Send inventory updates to store.
5. Click Save to apply your changes.

Setting Custom Allocation for Listings in Bulk

You can update custom allocation settings for multiple listings at once by uploading a CSV file. Follow these steps:

1. From the left sidebar, go to Listings › Listings.
2. In the upper-right corner, click the upload icon, then select Import Inventory Settings.
3. Review the Columns tab to understand the required and optional file headers.
4. Return to the Upload tab and download a sample CSV template, or export the current allocation settings.
5. Click Choose File, and upload your CSV file.

The inventory settings import tool is flexible; use only the headers relevant to your needs to perform the following actions:

• Set custom quantity, thresholds, or lead time
• Set custom targets and sources
• Remove custom settings
• Disable inventory updates

For any of these actions, you must include at least one of the following required fields to identify the listings being updated:

• Store – The name of the store
• SKU – The SKU of the listing
• Listing ID – The listing ID of the listing
• Product ID – The UPC of the listing

Only one of these fields is required, with SKU being the usual option. If there are duplicate SKUs, use Listing ID instead.

Setting Custom Quantity Thresholds or Lead Time

To adjust percentages or quantity thresholds, include the following headers in your import file:

• Percentage Amount – Specify the percentage of available inventory to allocate.
• Min Quantity – Set a minimum inventory quantity.
• Max Quantity – Set a maximum inventory quantity.
• Safety Level – Set a safety level.
• Lead Time – For Amazon channels, specify the lead time.

Leave empty any settings you are not changing from the standard store allocation settings. In the sample below, Percentage, Min, and Max remain unchanged for the Amazon listing; only safety level and lead time are updated. For the Walmart listings, Safety Level remains unchanged, and Lead Time does not apply.

Setting Custom Targets and Sources

To specify store targets or inventory sources different from the standard store settings, include the following along with quantity headers:

• For Warehouse – Enter the Store Warehouse Code.
• Warehouses – List the warehouse inventory sources, separating multiple warehouses with the pipe | character.
• Only Vendors – List the vendor inventory sources, separating multiple vendors with the pipe | character.
• All Vendors – Enter Yes to use all vendors instead of listing them individually.
• Only for Vendor-Stocked Products – Specify whether to use vendor inventory for all products or only for products with a fulfillment method of PTO or Dropship.

In the sample file below, the Amazon listing adds all vendors as an inventory source, while retaining the store standard warehouse inventory sources. For Walmart, different allocation settings are applied to its three store targets. The East & South targets use NJ and GA warehouses along with two vendor sources, while the West target applies different warehouse and vendor sources.

Removing Custom Inventory Settings

To remove custom allocation for listings and revert to the standard store settings, include only the Uses Store Default header. In the sample below, the Walmart listing resets all its custom settings.

Disabling Listing Allocation

To remove allocation from listings and manage inventory outside of Goflow, include only the Updated Manually at Store header. In the sample below, the listing will no longer send inventory updates to Amazon.

1. From the left sidebar, go to Listings › Listings.
2. Filter by the desired store.
3. In the upper-right corner, click the download icon, and select Export Inventory Settings.
