Linked Products


What is the Marketplace Linked Products section about?

The goals of the Marketplace Linked Products section are:

  • Enable CRM to send inventory information to the marketplace, by including the new products sold in the marketplace, from the ones already set up in the CRM instance, under the Products section.

  • Linked CRM SKUs with the Marketplace SKUs of the same products, so when eOne imports orders into CRM to be fulfilled, the system matches the SKUs and sends the order to the warehouse to be fulfilled.

Where is it located?

  1. Log into CRM, go to the left side menu

  2. Click on Marketplace Management

  3. Then click on Marketplace Linked Products.

Linked product with Virtual SKU

Virtual SKUs are the ones that:

  • Have not been configured on the Products section of CRM, but are available in a warehouse.

  • In the Products section inside the warehouse settings page, does not have the actions buttons (see the below example)

In order to add those virtual products into CRM, without the need to do it manually, users can benefit from the Linked product with Virtual SKU button of this section, to automatically create the products into the Products section of CRM.

Therefore, please follow the below steps to take:

  1. Type the SKU number in the Product field and select a similar SKU product from the list that has a similar Virtual SKU (see the below example)

    and so

  2. Click on the Linked product with Virtual SKU button and a small tab will pop up, and the user can select the Marketplace, which is necessary only to create the SKU - this will not add the product to the marketplace chosen

  3. Click on Save and the product will be created inside CRM so when the product is added inside the warehouse settings page, the product will display the actions button on its right side

  4. After that, if the user needs to link this product to a specific marketplace store, then the user should type again the product name into the Product field and select it

  5. Type the Marketplace Id and Marketplace SKU where it’s needed and click on the Save button

Once the Virtual SKU has been added in CRM, using this feature, the Virtual SKU inside the warehouse setting page will be automatically updated after a few minutes - so no further actions are required by the user.
