In today’s competitive e-commerce market, timely updating of product inventory information is one of the keys to maintaining a good customer experience and ensuring smooth business operations. For sellers operating businesses on the Ozon platform, it is crucial to understand how to update inventory effectively. This article will introduce how to update the inventory of a certain product in a single warehouse separately, update the inventory of multiple products in a single warehouse uniformly, and deal with possible errors on the Ozon platform.
1. Update the inventory of a certain product in a single warehouse separately.
Step 1: Enter the Warehouse and Method page.
First, log in to your Ozon seller account and find the “Logistics” option in your personal center. In the “Logistics” drop-down menu, select “Warehouse and Method”.
Step 2: Locate the target warehouse.
On the “Warehouse and Method” page, you will see the different warehouse information listed. Find the target warehouse you want to update the inventory for and click on the name of the warehouse.
Step 3: Update the inventory quantity.
After entering the warehouse information page, you can see the inventory quantity of each product. Click on the “Product Quantity” of the product you want to update the inventory of or if the product is not in stock, click on “No products in window”.
Step 4: Enter the new inventory quantity.
In the pop-up window, you can enter the new inventory quantity of the product. Make sure the quantity entered is accurate to avoid problems later.
Step 5: Save the update.
After entering the new inventory quantity, remember to click the “Save” button to confirm the changes. The inventory quantity will be updated and reflected in the Ozon store.
If there is an error when updating the inventory, you can check the following aspects:
Warehouse Name: Make sure you have selected the correct target warehouse.
Item Number: Check whether the item number of the product matches the actual product. Enter the correct item number to ensure that the inventory update is for the correct product.
Quantity: Verify whether the inventory quantity entered is correct to avoid entering the wrong number.
2. Update the inventory of multiple products in a single warehouse in a unified manner.
In addition to updating the inventory of a single product individually, there is a more efficient way to update the inventory of multiple products in a single warehouse. Here are the steps to do it:
Update Inventory Using API:
Ozon provides an API to help update inventory information in batches. You can update the inventory of multiple products at once by specifying the product ID and quantity in a specific warehouse in the request. This method is particularly suitable for bulk operations.
Use XLS Template:
Another way to update inventory in batches is to use XLS templates. Here are the detailed steps:
Step 1: Go to the product page in the warehouse.
Log in to your Ozon seller account and go to the “Warehouses and Methods” page.
Step 2: Download the inventory template.
On the product page in the warehouse, you will see an option to “Load Inventory”. Click on it and download the relevant inventory template.
Step 3: Fill in the template.
Open the downloaded inventory template and fill in the necessary information. The template needs to include the warehouse name, product number, and the new inventory quantity. Please make sure that each row is filled with correct data to avoid errors when uploading.
Step 4: Upload the template.
Once completed, upload the completed template to the Ozon platform. The system will batch update the inventory based on the information provided.
3. Handle errors.
If errors occur during the batch update of inventory, you can check the following aspects:
Warehouse name: Make sure that the correct warehouse name is included in the data of each row to avoid updating to the wrong warehouse.
Item number: Check whether the item number of the product matches the actual product to ensure that the item number is accurate.
Quantity: Verify that the inventory quantity entered is correct to avoid entering the wrong number.
