Import / Export: In Stock

Stocks

Please mind that you can only change the stock for existing products with this import, it is not possible to create new products.

General information

If you are using the functions of the plugin Shopware ERP powered by pickware please use the specific pickware profiles and never this profile type, otherwise you might cause stock distortions!

Before an import to the live-system is done, you should create a database backup. In any case the import should be tested in a test- or staging-system.

Basic stocks

The function Export articles in stock provides the following filters:

  • all
  • in stock
  • not in stock
  • in stock and on sale is active
  • not in stock and on sale is active
  • less than or equal than min stock
  • in stock filter
