Inventory Management is where you see and change the stock of every SKU in your EasyChannel catalog, warehouse by warehouse. This article is a map of the screen. Each part links to a step-by-step guide.
In this article:
Where is Inventory Management?
In the left menu, open Product Catalog. In the menu next to it, expand Inventory Management. It has three pages:
Inventory Management: the stock grid.
Warehouses: your warehouses and their priority.
Logs: inventory events.
The page is called Multichannel Inventory Management and is marked Open Beta.
What does the stock grid show?
Each row is one SKU in one warehouse. A product with variants has a row for each variant SKU, for example one row per color. If a SKU has stock in two warehouses, its row lists both.
Column | What it shows |
SKU | The product or variant SKU, with its photo. |
Warehouse | The warehouse (or warehouses) that hold this SKU's stock. |
On Hand | The total number of units for this product in your warehouses. The pencil next to it opens the Inventory Settings window. |
Available | The units in stock, after units reserved for open orders. |
Reserved | The units reserved for open orders. |
Sync Channels | The channels this SKU's stock syncs to. |
đĄ Hover the i next to a column name to see its definition in the app.
What does the toolbar do?
Filter: narrow the grid by a field.
Bulk Actions: tick one or more rows first. The menu has Update Inventory, Remove Warehouses, Remove SKUs and Export to CSV.

What opens when I click the pencil?
The pencil in the On Hand column opens the Inventory Settings window for that SKU.
Inventory-Synced Channels: the channels this SKU syncs to. The gear opens the sync settings.

Add Warehouse: add stock in another warehouse.
The warehouse table: priority, On Hand, Available, Reserved, Bin Location and a remove button, with a Total Inventory row.

Where are Warehouses and Logs?
Warehouses lists your warehouses with their priority, default star and actions. See Warehouses and Priority in EasyChannel.
Logs opens Inventory Logs, a table with Product, Channel, Date, Event Date, Item ID, Order ID, Old Value, New Value, SKU, User, Event and Status. Use Filter to narrow it.
FAQ
Why does one product have several rows?
Each variant has its own SKU, so each gets its own row with its own stock.
Where do I see who changed a quantity?
Click the pencil on the row. The Inventory Log at the bottom of the window lists each change with the user.
