Adjustment Types

Sellercloud, through the use of an import file, offers the ability to initialize or update bins using an Excel template. Additionally, if your bin quantities are maintained in a system external to Sellercloud, this is an easy way to update all quantities in Sellercloud at one time.

Initial Product Bin Adjustment

This adjustment type should only be used the first time you are updating bin quantities. This is because the import will set any SKU in the system that is not in the file to a qty of 0 in all bins. Typically, an Initial Product Bin Adjustment is only used when you are sure that what was counted accurately reflects the complete inventory. Please contact Sellercloud Support before using this feature.

Basic Product Bin Adjustment

Any bin quantity updates following the Initial Product Bin Adjustment, should use the Basic Product Bin Adjustment type.

Enter a simple positive/negative value in the bin quantity you are setting. Example: If you have 5 qty in the bin and want to only have 3, you would adjust -2.
