Simplest process to upload inventory

Store
1

We’re ready to start using Inventory. In order to streamline entering, I was thinking of the following. If you see any issues with using this process, please let me know!

  1. Run the Product Exporter report with “Active” set to “All Products” and “Format” set to “Advanced”
  2. Download the Sample File from Inventory Importer
  3. Copy/paste the SKUs column from Exporter to Sample Importer file
  4. Enter inventory numbers for each SKU
  5. Upload Importer file

Then we have our starting inventory and all decrements will come from web/club/POS orders.
Am I missing anything? I’d really like to avoid having to go into each product individually and enter starting inventory.

Thanks!

That sounds reasonable. You definitely want to use the importer, and it is true that uploading a number for a given SKU will automagically “check” the Product Uses Inventory box.

Suggest you start small and break it up into multiple uploads. Do maybe 5 items to start and go in to make sure it all worked as you wanted it to.
