Unified Inventory Logs

The Unified Inventory Logs in Konnect provide a comprehensive audit trail for every inventory update made to (marketplaces & webstores) or from (ERP/WMS/POS systems) the configured channel. These logs offer clear visibility into the flow of inventory data between Konnect and your connected channels, making it easier to verify updates and troubleshoot issues.

Use Cases

  • Verification:
    Confirm that channels are receiving the correct stock updates. For example, if a channel is displaying an incorrect stock level, use the logs to determine if Konnect successfully pushed the right quantity.

  • Troubleshooting:
    Investigate failed or partial inventory pushes by reviewing detailed logs to pinpoint issues with API calls or data mismatches.

Accessing Inventory Logs

  1. Log in to your Konnect Seller Panel.
  2. Navigate to Products in the left-hand menu.
  3. Click on Inventory Logs.
