Updating Stock Levels in Magento

Last updated 12/02/2021

How stock levels can be updated from Cin7 to Magento.

Overview

Stock levels can be updated from Cin7 to Magento to ensure you can display accurate stock levels to your customers.

You have the option to manually update stock levels for all your products or only those products that have had recent transactions. Products can also be setup to automatically sync.

Updating All Stock Levels

To update stock levels for all products:

  1. From the left navigation, select Integrations, then select your Magento module.
  2. Click Update All Stock Levels.

Updating Recently Modified Stock Levels

 

If you have thousands of products, it may be more desirable to update only those products that have recently been dispatched or received. Recently modified products include all products that have been modified since the last time the stock was updated.

To do this:

  1. From the left navigation, select Integrations, then select your Magento module.
  2. Select Update Recently Modified Stock Levels.
    The number of products that will be affected is displayed in brackets to the right of this link.

FAQs

Is it possible to update stock levels automatically?

Yes. A setting in the Sales Order module allows stock levels to be updated for all of your integrations each time a sales order is created. See the Setting Up Automatic Stock Level Updates Help article for additional information.

How frequently should I update the stock levels?

Because stock levels will be diminished in Magento as soon as an order is made, there is no need to update stock levels frequently unless other sales channels are causing your inventory to change.

For instance, if your Ecommerce store pulls from the same inventory as your Magento stock, it may be desirable to update stock levels more frequently to ensure your Magento stock levels are up to date.

Can I determine what stock levels are updated to Magento?

Yes. Settings are available that determine what stock levels are updated. See the Magento Settings Help article for additional information.

Can I update virtual stock levels to Magento?

Yes. In order to update virtual stock levels, you need to enable virtual stock levels in your Cin7 account. See the Virtual Stock with Bills of Materials Help article for additional information. Once enabled, your virtual stock levels will be applied to the Updating Stock Levels in Magento.

If you are wanting to push branch-specific virtual stock, see the Magento Settings Help article for additional information.
