Please refer to: What is Connect SKU?
Attention: if SKU is not connected, system will not be able to deduct ShopHub warehouse inventory in real time when products with combo SKUs are sold in channel store.
2, use combo SKU to modify on-sale product SKU:
When we need to add combo SKU to products on sale, you can add or modify SKU in product listing page, so as to ensure combo SKUs are shown in channel products and customers can choose to purchase them.
Three, How to calculate combo SKU inventory quantity?
Combo SKUs are combined with warehouse inventory SKUs. By setting the quantity of SKUs being combined, then calculate combo SKU inventory quantity based on available inventory and combination quantity of SKU. Once SKUs are connected, system will deduct inventory of corresponding sub SKU for the warehouse once combo SKUs are sold as products in the channel store.
Formula:
Combination quantity = number of SKUs being combined in a single combo SKU
Combo SKU inventory value = minimum value of each combined SKU(available inventory / combination quantity)
Deducted quantity of SKU being combined = sold combo SKU quantity * combination quantity
How to calculate available inventory of combo SKU?
E.g. SKUa = kettle, with available inventory quantity as 20
SKUb=cup with available inventory quantity as 30
Combo SKU: SKUa*1+SKUb*2= SKUc(kettle*1 + cup*2)
Combo SKU(SKUc) warehouse inventory = MIN(20/1，30/2) = 15. So available inventory quantity of SKUc is 15
How to calculate deducted amount of ShopHub inventory?
Once products are sold for SKUc*n in channel store, system will deduct [SKUa=1*n] and [SKUa=1*n] in real time from ShopHub warehouse inventory
