Identify the SKU and Shopify product/variant. Check the warehouse/location in Logentic.

Shopify reflects the inventory state that Logentic is responsible for publishing.

The mismatch affects available-to-sell inventory, many SKUs are wrong, or a customer cannot fulfill or sell accurately.

Before you start

  • Identify the SKU and Shopify product/variant.

  • Check the warehouse/location in Logentic.

  • Confirm which event should have changed inventory: receiving, putaway, shipment, return, adjustment, or missing item.

Steps

  1. Open the product in Logentic.

  2. Check stock by warehouse and location.

  3. Confirm whether the inventory event is complete.

  4. Check Shopify for the matching SKU/variant.

  5. If the values still differ, send support the SKU, warehouse, Shopify variant link, expected quantity, actual quantity, and recent event.

Common issues and next actions

If this happens

What to do next

Inventory changed in receiving but not Shopify.

Some workflows only update sellable inventory after putaway or after the configured inventory event completes.

Only one SKU is wrong.

The SKU, barcode, or product mapping may need review.
