Extract Inventory - Update
This guide will explain how to update Linnworks inventory items from the retrieved product data stored on live listings.
Update Listings
An update is an act of using the downloaded listing data to amend existing Linnworks Inventory Items such that they are overwritten with the data provided by the sales channel. This can be achieved on an individual SKU base or in bulk on a selected set of SKU's for the current channel.
Please Note! It's not possible to add new variation child into existing variation group using Extract Inventory tool when updating SKU. In this case, the whole variation group needs to be deleted from Linnworks and created again.
Preview / Edit prior to update
It is possible to view/amend the details that will be used prior to item creation by clicking on any of the Details / Images / Properties / List. Desc. buttons for the selected item. This will display a screen similar to the My Inventory Edit Item screen allowing you to update the values that have been retrieved via the download process and save the changes internally to Linnworks. This will not affect the live listing. Once any required changes have been made click the Save button.
Warning!
Please note that listing description, returns, payment and shipping policies will not be extracted from channel listing.
Before updating existing listings please review configurator settings and stock item details as your listing data will be overwritten. Select only those details that you wish to change.
