Import Inventory Updates into B2B Wave

This task will import inventory updates into your B2B Wave admin panel. You will provide an input file containing a list of products and their inventory information such as quantity, quantity monitor and package_quantity.

You can also import inventory updates for multiple warehouses on the same product.

You can also update standard product information with this task such as name and category_id, however, if you need to update this sort of information we would recommend using the Import Products task instead.
