WpAllImport price files from suppliers

Maziagha

Hi.

Today we have multiple suppliers and we import and update price and stock leves by WpAllImport.
I wonder if it is possible to combine this with your plugin?

We would like to import products from supplier pricefiles and automatically assign it to your supplier plugin.
The thing is that one product can have 2-3 suppliers with different prices and stock levels. Today we have no way to use allimport to keep track of this.

I read somewhere in the forum that you are going to release a pricefile import support? Can this solve our problem?

Hi Maziagha ,

Thank you very much for your post.

Unfortunately, WP all import will not be supported. Our team is bringing out a brand new premium addon at the end of July that will take care of all Export and Import needs.

I hope this helps,

That sounds like what we need.
That means that with the new addon all imports and updates on pricefiles can be managed with your plugin?
Can this import be scheduled / cron? If not please consider that also.
We can download supplier pricefiles and upload them in specifik folder. It would be great if the import can update from files that are uploaded in specifik folders. And then scheduled the update.

That would make the plugin the ultimate addon for any business.

Hi Maziagha ,

Thank you very much for your post.

Scheduled exports and imports will be part of this addon for sure. I am not 100% certain it will make the release, but we are planning to add that in.

awesome! Gonna sign up and try this plugin and wait for the release with import/export 🙂
You just made my life easier and i don't have to code it my self 🙂

Hi Maziagha ,

Good to hear that.

I have just confirmed with my senior dev that scheduled exports will be part of the release. Scheduled imports may take month or two more. Hope that's ok?

Maziagha

ohhh 🙂 Import would be nicer to have first 🙂

Maziagha ,

It will be ready for the launch, however, we have not planned to add import into this for free. Now we have decided to just give you guys two things for the price of one :-).
After the initial release, we will continue developing the import even more and add scheduled imports too.

Pavel

Maziagha

We are more then willing to pay extra for it 🙂
Or even plus extra to speed it up

Hi Maziagha ,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Money is not an issue here, but finding good developers in the area is :-). We are a small team that prefers quality before quantity. I planned 10 years development already where we will bring out amazing business tools and even better add-on bundles. Hope it all works out :-)

Thank you! We will sign up for the plugin and hope it all will come out soon.
My last question. It is possible to import and update stock and price manually with the new features that coming, right? Until the scheduling is ready?

Forum_Admin

Hi Maziagha ,

Yes, you will be able to change things and then import them at once.

Hi!

You have any idea when the import functionality will be available?

HI Maziagha

FYI, the import module was included in ATUM Export PRO version 1.1.3 that was released on 20th of September

Oh yes i see that now thank you.
I have now tested the demos. what have come to conclusion is that it can not handle supplier stocks?
I have 1 product with 3 suppliers. Each supplier have different stocks and prices. I want to use this stocks combined as shop stock. It can be done by adding Inventory and then link it with supplier. But we have over 14000 products and then this we have to do by manually inserting inventory and linking to suppliers?

Can't it be as 1 inventory is 1 supplier?

Salva

Hi Maziagha

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean.

A product can only be linked to 1 supplier in ATUM unless you use Multi-Inventory and are creating distinct inventories with distinct suppliers, is this what are you doing?

Also, from where are you going to import all those stocks?

Maziagha

Yes i have tested Multi inventory. I will try to explain 🙂

Product 1 - We have in stock (qty 2)
Product 1 we can buy from 2 different suppliers.
Supplier 1 - have this in stock (qty 3)
Supplier 2 - Have in stock (qty 1)

We want to show on web total qty, and in this case qty = 6.
This is no problem to do as i can see in ATUM if we add inventory for each supplier and connect it to that supplier.

The problem is that in our system we have about 14000 products. If we want to do this we have to manually add inventory to each product. We want to automate this. With other word if this product(SKU) exist in price file we import, automatically assign the supplier with inventory to this product.

If what you want is to bulk-add the same inventories to all your products, you could do so with our ATUM export PRO add-on, but it wouldn't be fully automatic, you should change the exported CSV file (adding inventories, changing stocks, etc) and importing it back.

If you are interested in exploring this option, we are preparing a how-to tutorial for this and will be available here at the forums shortly.
