What is the need / problem ?
Currently there is no way for a user to get a download of their products and product data (variants, stock, category…) or of their over-rides (inventory). having this capacity was discussed at the time we developed the import tool - Bulk Import of Product / Inventory - #18 by Kirsten.
Its great to have the capacity to import products/inventory from a file - but without the capacity to build this file from a download, users are faced with deleting all existing products and starting fresh to create a new product import file.
Who does it impact ?
All users with products.
What is the current impact of the problem ?
Users have to create a product import file, eventhough they have all their products in the OFN system. they can get data in, but not out.
What is the benefit of focusing on this ?
We’ve been attracting larger users. On OFN-CAN, most users have over 100 products. The product import tool is great - but users who want to switch to using it cannot do so without re-creating all their products.
Potential solutions that will solve the problem ?
[brainstorming to list feature candidates]
A report that downloads products, variants, prices, and current stock on hand - from the product list, and downloads any overrides of these products in inventory. Ideally searchable by order cycle.
