Shopify & Inventory Integration - Item fields are deleting
We are trying to integrate a shopify store with our Zoho Inventory. We have noticed that once we turned on the sync, our item fields were getting deleted. eg, Product category, Manufacturer, Brand, + all our custom fields. We have now lost all our Item Field data & do not wish to import the back up data if it will continue to delete. Wondering if any one else has come across this issue?

Bundling item units less than 1
I am trying to bundle a composite item. Some of the items need to be bundled using units less than one. ex. 0.25 kg. These items are also batch tracked.

Inventory for Users
I run a direct sales network and when I originally took the tour of Zoho Inventory, it was my understanding that the Inventory application would track each of our distributors inventory in their own account.

Stock on hand not showing on backorders

Splitting pallets
so we buy a pallet of the same product and then sale them off as other products. So we buy salt on a pallet and then sell them off as 5 delivered or 10 delivered etc or perhaps people come in and pickup product. We would like each of these product sales to effect the inventory of the master pallet. Does that make sense.
