Before you begin

Help Admins distinguish locally stored quantities from the latest confirmed Shopify view for one mapped warehouse location.

Prerequisites

  • The intended Shopify location is mapped to the client.
  • The Admin can see the inventory timestamp and location.
  • Any stock decision can wait for a trustworthy result.

Stop and check

Do not describe a local quantity as real-time or make a stock decision from the wrong location.

StoreFulfil shows locally stored on-hand, available and committed quantities for the mapped Shopify location. Use Sync now to refresh the local view from Shopify.

Inventory States

  1. On-hand: The quantity currently stored in StoreFulfil.
  2. Available: The amount available to sell.
  3. Committed: Items reserved for open orders.

Expected Outcome

Staff can interpret the local inventory counts and know when to refresh them from Shopify.

Runbook evidence

Use these signals to decide whether the work is ready to continue, complete, or needs an owner.

State checkpoints

Local quantity shown

StoreFulfil has a stored on-hand, available, or committed value for the mapped location.

Next: Check the location and timestamp before using it operationally.

Sync completed

A manual refresh returned a result that can be reviewed row by row.

Next: Use recognised values and record any rejected or unrecognised rows.

Stale or failed

The displayed value is not safe to treat as the latest Shopify position.

Next: Pause stock decisions and follow stale-inventory or connection guidance.

Completion evidence

  • The mapped location, timestamp, quantities, and any failed rows are visible.

Escalation evidence

  • Record the client, location, SKU or product, timestamp, and displayed sync result.
