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? Hoping someone can assist us with the field mapping to prevent it overriding and deleting!

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. Anything that I bundle with a quantity of one or more (including other decimal quantities like 1.5 kg) allows me to select which batch I am bundling from. However, when I try to select the batches for items with a bundling quantity less than one, the option to do so disappears and if I try to save the bundle, I (unsurprisingly) get an error message
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. Now, I'm being told that the Inventory application is for the whole organization and cannot be broken into individual distributors. Am I missing something here? Our direct sales network is in many different states and we offer local delivery to circumvent the freight issues we have with our

Stock on hand not showing on backorders
I have a sales order which has items on it requiring backorder. Some of those items have had a stock adjustment completed on them, however when I generate a backorder it is not taking the adjustment into consideration. For example The sales order has 2 red t-shirts on it. When the sales order was generated we were showing as having no red t-shirts in stock (Stock on hand = 0) A red t-shirt was located and a stock adjustment was completed to reflect this (Stock on hand = 1) When generating a backorder

Point of Sale : How to update stocks in Zoho Inventory through API
Hi, We have a retail shop with an external POS system. I would like to update the product stocks every time a product is sold in the shop. How should I do that.

I won't always have a customerId to

Batch - Take the oldest expiry date first (FIFO)
Hello, I've activated Batch Tracking for expiry date for my items. But EACH time I create an invoice, I have to select the correct batch for EACH Item. Is there a way to avoid that ? I'd like Zoho to take automatically the oldest expiring date items (A little bit like the FIFO method for cost). It adds click which is not the best for user adoption. Thx
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.

Reserving Products
Hello Zoho, Do you have a recommended method for reserving products? The use case is you have created an estimate and/or sales order for a project, and now need to reserve those products to make sure they are available when it is time to deliver or install them. I suppose we could mark them as a not shipped package, but that does not seem ideal, because how does anyone know they are only on hold? If there is no good workaround for this, please consider adding an "on hold" status for product reservations,

Preferred Vendor
What's the point of preferred vendor? I would have thought that if we specify a preferred vendor in an item, that when we go to backorder that item it would pre-populate the 'vendor' selector. Cheers
