Trace Inventory in Flipkart

To trace the inventory pushed to Flipkart, we will need to check the following details;

Inventory Flow between Fynd & the Brand

In order to debug correctness of inventory in Seller system and the Fynd Platform first check if the inventory for that particular SKU and Store has been pushed from the Seller’s POS or ERP system and is being consumed correctly by Fynd Platform.

In an event where there is a mismatch in inventory between Seller system and Fynd Platform.

If the inventory is matching then proceed as follows

2. Once you’re logged in, click on Products.

4. If the SKU is cataloged then you’ll see that in the search result.

5. If the search result doesn’t return a value then the product needs to be cataloged on Fynd. Refer to the tutorial on Cataloging products on Fynd Platform.

Inventory Consumption at Fynd

In this section, we will verify if the inventory that is consumed by Fynd against the cataloged SKU is correct or not. In other words, we will check if the inventory consumed by Fynd matches the raw inventory in Seller system.

1. Click on the dropdown and select Edit Inventory.

4. If there is a mismatch in the inventory then you should reach out to Fynd Platform support to investigate the case.

If the FSN, Merchant SKU denotes that the mapping is not complete then it needs to be uploaded and mapped. If the status is ‘inactive’ then it means that the mapping is not complete and inventory push is incomplete.

If the inventory is present, it denotes inventory is successfully pushed to Flipkart from Fynd, if it is not visible on the website, there must be some issue with Catalog, contact your marketplace POC for the relevant query.

caution

If the inventory is not present in that particular store, then store mapping needs to be checked between Flipkart & Fynd.
