Inventory Tracking for Product Attributes

PostPosted: Fri Oct 04, 2002 10:18 pm

Hi,

I have a product that comes in different colors. I want to be able to keep
track of inventory per color. It doesn't look like ShopSite allows me to do
so. I can only keep track of how many of the product itself I have on-hand.
For example, I can't note that I have 11 white bags and 20 blue bags -- just
31 bags.

Am I right?

If you manage your orders with the Stone Edge Order Manager for ShopSite
(http://www.stoneedge.com/OrderManager.htm), the Order Manager can track
your inventory for you down to the specific item (color, size, etc.)

Feel free to give us a call during the week if you want more information.

I have items that have 520 variations of colors and
sizes...StoneEdge Order Manager tracks all the inventory and
reorders more almost automatically (two clicks) when needed and
much, much more.

Order Manager looks cool - but is the inventory tracking managed just
offline? I was envisioning that ShopSite had a product attribute inventory
tracker online, so that if a customer tries to order 50 white bags but I
have only 20 white bags in stock, a message of sorts would say "sorry - not
enough bags to fulfill your order."

Cheryl -

We hope to have real-time inventory synchronization between the Order
Manager and ShopSite sometime in the future. The Order Manager already
"knows" how to do that - we are waiting for the people at ShopSite to add
the code to support it at their end.

In the meantime, you could accomplish almost the same thing by updating your
inventory in ShopSite once or twice a day with data from the Order Manager.
