How to map inventory to vendor warehouses:
- tools.com Marketplace allows Vendors on the marketplace to have multiple warehouses and to manage stock in warehouses using a simple CSV import.
- Once you've completed the import of your products into tools.com Marketplace, please run the Inventory Mapping import to map the iventory to your warehouses so that the product is then visible in your Catalogue.
Step 1: Navigate to the Import Section
- Go to System > Import
Step 2: Select Inventory Per Location import
- Click on Entity Type dropdown and select "Inventory per location".
- The options you see in your dropdown may differ based on the conditions of each Marketplace.
- Under "Import Behaviour" select "Add/Update" as you want to add new products or Update the Inventory of products. Please not select "Replace" as this will cause unexpected data behaviour on the platform.
Step 3: Select the import file
- Click on "Choose File" and select the CSV file that contains the product data that you want to import. You can find the sample import file HERE
Step 4: Check Data and Import File
- Once the file has been selected, click on Check Data. This performs a verification on the file and will display error messages if the data in the file is incorrect or the file format is invalid.
- Please contact your marketplace administrator, including sending them the CSV file that you are attempting to import.
- If the data is verified and is valid, you will receive the following message. Click on Import to complete the Import Process.

- You will see a list of your products assigned to your warehouse with the assigned inventory
