Manage inbound/outbound deliveries

ChannelDock allows you to manage your inbound and outbound deliveries. This article explains how to create, manage and add/subtract these deliveries to your inventory.

MANAGE SUPPLIERS

Before you start creating deliveries you must add one or more suppliers in ChannelDock. You can not create deliveries without adding at least one supplier. 

Add suppliers by going to 'Inventory->Deliveries'

NEW DELIVERY

To create a new delivery, navigate to Inventory->Deliveries->New delivery and select a destination for your delivery: 

1. Marketplace fulfillment centers (LVB/FBA)

You don’t need to manually create these deliveries; we will automatically fetch them from the marketplaces. However, you must select the source of the stock and confirm the delivery to ensure the stock is deducted from the correct location.

• Delivery from a supplier – Your own stock (ChannelDock stock) will not be affected.
• Delivery from your fulfillment center – The delivery will be sent to the fulfillment center, and the stock will be deducted from their inventory.
• Delivery from your own warehouse (ChannelDock stock) – Stock will be deducted from your warehouse. If products are assigned to a specific stock location, ensure you select the location from which to deduct the stock.

2. Purchase orders

You can choose to replenish the fulfillment centre from your own warehouse or directly from the supplier.

Fill in the required details for the purchase order, such as item descriptions, quantities, prices, and delivery dates then save the purchase order information.

Note: if you choose to replenish your fulfillment center from your own warehouse the stock level will lower on ChannelDock. It will not change if you choose to replenish from the supplier.
