Zoho Inventory Community Digest December 2021 - a monthly rundown



 

Hello all!

We hope you are all having an amazing holiday season this year. We see the pressure you are under as your sales go up and your customer bases get bigger and better. We're thrilled to bring you the last edition of Community Digest for Zoho Inventory this year.
 
1. Spotlight

If you are an Amazon FBA seller and you use Zoho Inventory, you need a way to keep track of your inventory as it comes in from yours vendors and is moved to your Amazon FBA warehouses across the country.

With our latest update supporting inbound shipments from Amazon, this integration will now help you manage the complete movement of your inventory from the point at which the shipments are generated until delivery is completed at your FBA warehouses. Find out more about this integration.
 
2. Product updates
  • Zoho Inventory is now compatible with e-invoicing in Saudi Arabia, according to the latest taxation laws from ZATCA (Zakat Tax and Customs Authority).
  • Custom reports can now be created for your account transactions, receivable details, and receivable summary in the Zoho Inventory application.
  • We have added some holiday template elements to the transaction modules in the Zoho Inventory app to bring a little cheer to your communications. You can access the new elements by navigating to the particular template from Settings -> Templates, then selecting Edit Template -> Header / Footer -> Choose from Gallery -> Save. Your template is now ready to be used for your transactions.
For more detailed product updates, watch the Recent Updates section in your Zoho Inventory app dashboard.

6. Ask The Experts - Zoho Inventory



Join us on the 28th episode of 'Ask the Experts - Zoho Inventory' next month, where our discussion topic is simply 'Anything about Zoho Inventory'. We will be live from 4 - 9pm IST | 9am to 3pm PST on January 5, 2022.


7. Hottest inventory management tips

Out of the many important tips and tricks we have discussed earlier, we would like to highlight one of the very underrated tips from our customization stash.

You can automate the updating of shipping charges from multiple shipment records to an associated sales order in your Zoho Inventory account.
This will help you associate the shipping charges associated with multiple partial shipments with a single order in Zoho Inventory. See the complete script and detailed usage scenarios for this customization.

As always, we encourage you to join our webinars and follow our community forums. Make sure to follow us on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to keep up to date on our products and the most exciting inventory management tips.

If you need any additional assistance, feel free to send us an email at support@zohoinventory.com. We'll be happy to help you find all the answers you need. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and happy new year.

Cheers,
Salman Nazar
