Drop Shipping and sync with Shopify
Hi, I am currently assessing Shopify to work in conjunction with Zoho inventory, what I am looking to understand is multiple drop shipping warehouses. If someone can explain how this does (or could) work it would be very much appreciated: Scenario: 1) Customer orders specified quantity of a product via shopify store - Quantity ordered requires direct order to our supplier for fulfilment 2) Customer lists their delivery address and pays for order For our inventory system I am unsure as to how

Requested Custom Function on Inventory
Hi Zoho, We have both Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory. We wrote a lot of customer function program on Zoho Books on Invoice and Purchase Order etc. However, Zoho Inventory doesn't have custom function so many feature has to perform on Books instead of Inventory which caused a lot of trouble because some user uses inventory. Is it possible to add customer function on ZOHO Inventory too or I wrote my customer function on books and make it run on inventory? Zoho books cost only CAD$ 27 but Inventory
Determining order volume / what to backorder
Hi, I am evaluating zoho inventory... and have created some items and sales orders. For my type of items I can not not blindly purchase everything that has been ordered: I need to aggregate my incoming sales orders first, determine which items I will have my vendors manufacture and then issue a purchase order. (Given I need to invest in raw materials I will not always manufacture everything that was ordered.) I know the Inventory Details report can give me a count of ordered items ("Quantity Committed") but

Setting Up Zoho Inventory
Hello Zoho community , I recently started working with Zoho Inventory. am currently having trouble setting things up. I am hoping that someone can provide some clarifcation on the operations of this app. Zoho Inventory When my company order supplies from manufacturers for example crutches.

Custom View of Items by Preferred Vendor
We have added the preferred vendor to our items with the aim of making a list of items according to preferred vendor as a report or custom view so that we can quickly analyse stock in preparation for a purchase order. However there is no such list available. Preferred vendor is not an option as an available column in custom views. It is not a column in the Inventory report either. Please can someone make a suggestion? The Vendor - Reorder Items is not working for us on the EU server. However that
Purchase Orders?
Is there any way to create a PO from the low stock list or report. At the moment it seems that one has to take note of the low stock item, then go to purchase orders and find the vendor and enter the item. Is that the only way?
Shipping labels from USPS (not UPS)
Would be nice if Zoho had an option to create USPS (US Postal Service) labels for packages. Any chance of that happening? There are other commercial vendors of these (kolobit.com, etc) so I assume it is doable... -Tom

Has anyone successfully integrated Volusion with ZOHO Inventory, and/or CRM and other Apps?
I'm just looking into adding Zoho to our stack. We need to have a cloud based inventory management layer to allow us to sell on marketplaces. I'm not sure if, or how difficult it would be to integrate our Volusion store. I appreciate any suggestions? Thanks!
Unpaid Invoices warning on Sales Orders
The Unpaid Invoices warning when creating a new invoice if the customer has unpaid invoices is a nice touch. However, could it be added to the sales order? Otherwise we will ship the items and only know that they have unpaid invoices when they have received their goods and we create an invoice when it is a bit late!
Minor revamp for Inventory to attract more subscribers......
We use Books for office users & would love to use inventory in the warehouse but ..... Quite a lot of users don't want to use sales orders ..... Will there ever be purchase orders from invoices ?

I really want to use Inventory but these things along with a user role that does not show monetary
sinchronization between Zoho Inventory and Zoho CRM
Hi, I have just setup Zoho Inventory and I currently use Zoho CRM, and I will appreciate some answers since I cannot find them in the help documentation, which is very limited. Where should I manage my Purchase Orders and Sales Orders? In Zoho Inventory or in Zoho CRM? Both applications have the modules. Do they synchronize? Do inventory levels in Zoho CRM and Zoho Inventory get synchronized? or will I get different inventory levels in Zoho CRM and Zoho Inventory depending on where I generate my

Boxing of Items Report
Could we have a report showing boxing of items? We need to evaluate our sales on a regular basis in order to set the reorder level but sales are only the composite items. Sales reports do not tell us how many items that make part of the composite have been used and so need ordering. If an item has been used in more than one composite then we cannot see how many to have in stock.
Improve custom views in sales orders - such as OR and IS NOT
The custom views in Inventory for sales orders are very limited and not much use as they stand. As well as AND we should have OR As well as IS we should have IS NOT This would enable us to filter out orders. See attached image of screenshot.
Low Stock Item Not Showing
Hello, On the ZOHO inventory dashboard the number of low stock items do not match the items shown when in the low stock filter view. Right now the number of low stock items is 3 but only 2 show up in the low stock view. Also when testing I noticed that when creating sales orders items don't show up in the low stock view even when the physical stock goes below the reorder level. The only way to make them show up is to edit the item and re type in the reorder level. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Inventory items available less unshipped sales orders
Is there any possibility in having a report in Inventory that tells what the availability of items is minus the sales orders that are not shipped? We can see items available based on stock tracking when orders have been shipped or invoiced but with hundreds of orders a day it would be good to be able to see in advance what the stock situation would be like when the orders have been fulfilled. At the moment we have no idea if we will run out of stock until we package and ship the order which cannot

Input Mass Serial Number at once
Hi Zoho, we receive 1000+ items each month and try to input the serial number for each item. However, our manufacture gave us the serial number in a excel format. Is it possible to upload excel/doc/text into serial number field? instead of type/scan one by one. Thanks
Report / View -- Sales by Customer and then by Item
Is it possible to generate a report or custom view in Inventory app to see all items a customer purchased during a predefined / custom date range? I like that I can go into each customer and see the transactions tab. But I can only filter by sales order, invoices, packages, payments received. I would like to be able to see all the items this customer purchased over the last 30 days (or some custom date range), so that our sales team can go back to them to remind them to reorder the same items.

Purchase price, Imported price and Sales price.
I manage a business that imports goods from Australia to New Zealand. I'm using Zoho Inventory. I have the option to put in purchase price and sales price, but there is no way to put the imported price in. For example: If I import something that costs $30 from the distributer in Australia, it will end up costing me $50 once the import costs have been factored in. Then I might sell it for $70. All three numbers are important. The first ($30) lets me easily create purchase orders. The $50 and $70

Shipping Fees in Purchase Order ?
HI When I make a Purchase order, I add a line for the Shipping and choose a different COSG than Inventory for this line. However, when I receive the order, I cannot <receive> the shipping item (which is ok) but, all my Purchase orders remains Partially Recived. Is there a better way to manage the shipping fees I got to pay from my suppliers on a purchase order ? Should I distribute the shipping cost on the cost of each item ? Thanks

Payment reminder / data based webhook
Hello everybody, i wanted to setup a payment reminder when "due_days" reach a specific number, lets say 14 days. I thought there is already a function like this and in the api documentation I could see that there is a function to turn on the "payment reminder" - whatever that is actually. Anyway, I tried to setup a webhook which fires data once an invoice is overdue for 14 days. But whatever I set up, it doesn't fire and testing is very slow as I can only set times in 30-minute steps. This is what
Reorder Level 0 shows as low stock
I have discovered in Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory that if the reorder level is 0 the item still shows up in the low stock filter. This is a problem as we have items we stock and items we don't stock but customers can still order and we get them in to order. Therefore we want to track inventory on everything but only want notifications on items we stock. Right now everything with available stock below reorder level AND anything with reorder level 0 and available 0 shows up in the low stock view.
Why can i not have a composite item that just consists of a single unit of an inventory tracked item
we want to be able to create composite items that just consist of a single unit of an inventory tracked item. it looks as if this has changed since the original implementation in that it now allows you to just have one item code, but it forces you that the quantity must be greater then 1. please can you explain the logic of why this restriction is in place? surely we should be allowed to choose how to use the system rather than havig it dictated to us. please can you also explain whether there is
