Warehouses
The warehouse feature is how locations for inventory are declared and mapped to marketplaces. Warehouses can be downloaded and entered automatically by Acenda admin or entered manually.
To enter a warehouse manually, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Warehouses tab under Data Management on the sidebar.
Click + New Warehouse on top right.
Enter the warehouse name and select a fulfillment provider from the dropdown. Choose basic or custom inventory tracking under the Inventory Tracking field, and physical or virtual warehouse under the Type field. Note: Basic Inventory Tracking is the only option supported at this time. Enter the warehouse address information, and select whether to respect allocations and activate the warehouse with the sliders.
Respect allocations is a feature which automatically lowers on hand inventory by the amount of SKUs ordered each time an order is placed. This keeps inventory live and auto decremented to prevent overselling.
Once the warehouse is entered note the warehouse ID to its left on the Warehouses page.
To assign fulfillment software (fulfillment providers) to a warehouse follow these steps:
In the Integrations section, click Edit next to a fulfillment provider.
Click the Setup tab.
Enter the Warehouse ID or IDs in the corresponding field.
Click Save.
To connect the warehouse to a marketplace, follow the steps:
Navigate to the Integrations tab under Organization on the sidebar.
Click Edit next to the desired sales channel.
Click the Settings tab.
Under Warehouse Details, click + Add Warehouse Detail.
Select the Channel Warehouse and Warehouse from the dropdown fields. The Channel Warehouse field is unique to each marketplace; please refer to the individual marketplace setup article to learn how to set this field.
