What's New in Zoho Inventory - February 2020
It's the first post of the new decade and we are excited to share the recent updates that were added to Zoho Inventory in the past month. View the price lists associated with an item When an item is associated with several price lists, it becomes difficult to identify the item's rate in each list. For that purpose, we have added a section in the item details page where you can view the different custom rates applied to an item in each list and edit them then and there. Note: Markup/Markdown priceShopify not in sync with Inventory
After integrating the two apps, I updated the Shopify inventory of a product and the change didn't reflect on Zoho Inventory. The change was manual, and it didn't even detect the "FAILURES"on Zoho Inventory. How can this be a reliable inventory or which is the correct use?Consignment Basis Sales
Hi, we are a brand for lifestyle products like iphone covers, ipad covers, laptop sleeves, backpacks, work bags etc. We sell our products to distributors and retailers on consignment basis. Alternatively, we also sell our products on marketplaces and on our own website powered by Shopify. We are interested in using Zoho Books & Inventory for our offline as well as online sales.

Hi Everyone, We are just starting Zoho Inventory/Books at the beginning of this month. We are having a problem with returns/refund. Credit memo's or refunds can only be given if an item is returned. However, there are several times where a simple refund is needed or partial refund or the item was purchased at the end of last year where there isn't an item to return. How do you all work around this?2019 - The year at a glance

Hello, Previously Zoho Inventory allowed you to open an item from the item list, then click on the "More" button in the upper right, and add it into an existing item group if it was a standalone item, remove it from an item group if it was part of one (thereby creating it's own item group), or move it to another one. For some reason, I now see that these options are seemingly available for only a limited number of my items. Has this functionality now been limited? If so, this would really be unfortunate,No 'Track inventory for this item' option after CSV import
Hi there, Due to a large amount of items my company needs to add to Zoho, we imported all of our data to Inventory .via a csv file. However, I've come to noticed that the option to 'Track inventory for this item' is not available for the items that were imported from the .csv file. I've attached two screenshots for reference.

Hi everyone. I am having trouble using the Zoho Inventory. What is happening is that after I create a shipment manually, I want to send the email notification with the tracking number on it to a third person. Example: I am selling a product to a company A, but I need to send the tracking number to a person B that is not related to the A. Zoho only allows me to send tracking emails notification to people under that company name. If I try to add a new email there, it asks me to add a contact and itInventory Location/ Custom Field on Receive.
With Zoho Inventory, when a Purchase Order is received with a series of items, the number of steps to see and or update information on the item in our case a custom field for the physical storage location adds a lot of extra steps.

When updating an item via the API we have found we can not set the purchase_description and purchase_rate for items that do not already have values for these fields. How can we overcome this? We can only update these fields if the "Purchase Information" checkbox has already been checked using the UI and the product saved with some existing purchase information. Can someone suggest a fix for this? Is there a field/flag I can update with the same API call that will allow these fields to be set?How to add a icon besides sales order number using an API.
I have integrated my website orders to zoho inventory sales order and it was successful. But I wanted to add an icon beside the sales order number as my reference that it was coming from my website.
