Amazon Sync'ing and Attributes
Hello, I'd like clarification on something with regard to the Amazon integration... Toward the top of the Amazon Integration page with the Setup button, it states that items are mapped to Amazon by SKU. At the bottom of the page, it states: "Items in Amazon that have more than three attributes will not be a part of a sync as Zoho Inventory supports only up to three attributes." I ask this question for this reason... Some of the products I sell have more than three attributes. My solution in Zoho
Green Coffee Warehouse + Roastery
Hello there, I have a problem with creating a product/ Item recipe. I run a coffee roastery and green beans warehouse. I need to create a roasted coffee product that uses the green beans and removes 20% of weight as final product. So if I roast 1 KG of Green beans I will get 0.8 KG or roasted beans. Is this possible in Zoho inventory? Please let me know. Thank you!
Custom Function delay on updating sales order
Hi all, I've written a Deluge script that updates the shipping charge depending on the sub total on a sales order. The script only works after repeated page refreshing (whether this to do with delays on the back end or something else i don't know) Ideally i would want the deluge script to happen in real time on the order. Is this possible as the current method is not really acceptable.

Trying to understand Etsy Integration
I currently have an Etsy shop as my primary eCommerce platform and was delighted to learn that Zoho has an integration for inventory and sales management. So I went through and set up everything. It seems that sales on my Etsy shop populate fine on Zoho Inventory, however, when tracking inventory I have a problem: On Etsy, some of my products have bundle discounts, within one product, you can buy one for $35, three for $100, and five for $150. They are currently set up as variations on Etsy. When

How do I overwrite fields during an import to a null value?
Hello, I'm trying to use Item Import / Overwrite to clear the Sales Description field. I would have expected this to be a simple task importing "Item Name" and "Sales Description" as the two fields by simply leaving "Sales Description" empty (with exception of the header). This failed and just left the Sales Description field unchanged. I then tried populating it with a single space. This too left the field unchanged. I then tried using "". This then changed all the Sales Description fields to

Zoho Inventory: and if I need to know what Articles are to be packed?
Hi Zoho, in the Dahboard of Inventory I see the indicator for the Articles to be packed When I click on it, I expect to have a Report to see what are those articles. But Inventory gives me just a list of Orders to pack. Why? It would be usefull to have a list the articles to pack with the related Order, so that my Inventory Manager can to know, at a glance, what Articles have to prepare! Same is for the Articles to invoice. Is there a way to have the "articles list"? Do you think to make a
Templates per Contact
I was looking at the API for oauthscope : ZohoInvoice.contacts.CREATE In here appears to be the ability to set specific templates per Contact. Is this true? If so, more importantly, is there a means of setting these within the UI? I have been looking and not yet found it? If the UI answer is no, then please confirm that we might be able to set these by use of the API? Thanks

Item Custom Fields in Purchase Order Template
I am trying to setup my organization and one of the first things I need to do is confirm that custom fields that are captured during Purchase Order entry are going to present in the ITEM TABLE of the purchase order correctly. I created my custom item fields in preferences. I created my item with defaulted values. I created a purchase order and those values get captured correctly. I go to customize the purchase order template at the ITEM TABLE and those fields are not available to make visible or
What is Shipment Order #?
Seems like shipping is overly complicated here. It's probably to accommodate situations different than ours, but here are a couple questions: 1) Can't the system default to Packing Slip #1 rather than me having to enter 1 for every single package we ship? 2) When I manually ship (all USPS is manual at the moment) what is Shipment Order # supposed to mean? It's a required field, but I have no idea what it is asking for, where it's used, etc. Is it the Sales Order Number? Could it default to that?

Can't add Invoice to sales order
I'm writing an api script in php that creates a sales order and invoice when a customer submits an order on our website. The script has no problem making both the invoice and the sales order. But when I goto the sales order's invoice tab, it hasn't added the invoice that I created to the sales order, even though the invoice is listed in the invoices section of Zoho inventory. Does anyone have any idea how to add the invoice to the sales order? $params ='{ "customer_id": '.$contactsDecode->contacts[0]->contact_id.',
Cannot invite new users
Hello, I am on a Finance Plus trial with a focus on using the Inventory application. I only have one user (the owner) able to access anything. All other users are "pending" and they never received their invitations. Invitations are not received on gmail.com, our business G Suite accounts, or on outlook.com. I created a zoho.com email and invited that one, the invite was received. It appears that the Zoho application is having trouble sending the email to other domains. See here: https://mxtoolbox.com/domain/zohoaccounts.com/
Hire/Rental Module
Hi guys, I have seen there have been a couple of threads in relation to this, however I think this is something really important that the Zoho suite could be offering. For me, it is essentially the only thing holding me back from purchasing licencing for the Zoho One suite of products. I service the IT, AV and Events industries and would be looking to buy and sell items as well as hire items out to my clients. This would be a great addition to the offering and would definitely bring myself over

Centralized Template Editor Add-In/App
In Zoho One there are multiple apps that have the same identical need: creation and maintenance of customized document / email template. Zoho CRM offers a very good editor, meanwhile Zoho Inventory does not offer this option at all. I got a message from the Zoho Inventory support team, that a template editor is on the road map. However it would be easier to develop this editor as a single Add-In/App through the whole offering instead to split this for each single application. Each app can be "connected"
How do I record a cash purchase from my vendor and track the inventory
Hi there, I am a complete beginner and have no experience in accounting. Just trying to learn things as I go. I buy my stocks on cash basis only and I've never had an inventory system. What I'm trying to do now, is to find a way to record stock purchases that I make which happen to be on cash terms. I don't send out a PO to my vendor as I buy directly from their store and as such, I'm not sure that raising a PO to record my inventory would be the way go. There's also the Bill option which I'm considering

Invoices have been created, as well as packages and shipping was completed. I have not created any payments received. Also, when I pull profit/loss in Zoho Books, i'm showing profit.

To be packed
If we use the more advanced inventory features then we need to subscribe to inventory ... In the packages module there is no "To be packed" column,. I'm wondering if this would be beneficial for those of us that would like to give warehouse staff access to sales order items package details without them seeing any monetary data, only the items & quantities, clicking on a SO would only show them the packing details required to create this package, along with the ability to actually create this package.
