Inventory Synchronization Frequency – OneWarehouse

Function Description

Inventory synchronization frequency refers to the rule for synchronizing inventory information between the OW system and upstream platforms. You can choose either 【Incremental Inventory Synchronization】 or 【Timed full coverage】 to synchronize your system's inventory data with upstream e-commerce platforms, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of inventory information

Incremental Inventory Synchronization：When the product inventory increases (due to purchase, return, or inventory adjustment), the increased inventory will be synchronized to your corresponding stores based on set rules
Timed full coverage：Every day, during specified hours (avoiding business peak hours), the product inventory will be synchronized to your corresponding stores based on set rules, achieving updates by overwriting the original product inventory

Precautions

The inventory synchronization frequency is a configuration required for "Automatic Inventory Synchronization," while "Manual Synchronization" defaults to synchronization via inventory overwrite
Using "Incremental Inventory Synchronization" will only trigger synchronization when inventory increases, and only the increased inventory data will be synchronized. Inventory decreases due to sales or other operations will not trigger synchronization
When "Automatic Synchronization" is enabled, the system defaults to "Incremental Inventory Synchronization"

Which one should I choose?

Comparison of the two synchronization frequencies:

Mode	Trigger Action	Data to Synchronize	Synchronization Frequency	Suitable Sellers
Inventory Incremental Synchronization	Inventory Increase	The increased quantity of inventory	Multi-frequency	Sellers without offline orders; requiring fast inventory turnover
Timed full coverage	Specified time	Total inventory quantity at the specified time	Once a day	Sellers with many offline orders; where inventory data on the sales platform is sourced solely from OW

Operating steps:

Step1 Enable "Automatic Synchronization"

Go to the "Set up" >> "Sales Channel" interface, and enable "Automatic Synchronization" in the "Auto-sync inventory" module

Step2 Edit the Synchronization Frequency

Click 「Edit」 in the "Auto-sync inventory" module, and in the pop-up "Edit Synchronization Frequency" window, select the appropriate synchronization frequency (if selecting "Timed full coverage," you also need to choose the update time). After making your selection, click "Complete"
