Stock Item Linking Import

Overview
This import allows the import of inventory linking information into the Linnworks database. This is done per Selling Channel (Source/SubSource). It is possible to link more than one listing per channel to a single item in the Linnworks Inventory. This is done by including multiple rows for the SKU (Linnworks Inventory Item), Source and SubSource, but with a different Linked SKU Custom Label.
