Product Syns Issues

Troubleshooting Use Case

Issue 1: New or existing products do not appear as pre-orders or backorders

Possible Causes:

• Item does not exist in the system

• PO status is canceled

• Item has Inventory in the system

Resolution Steps:

1. Status of PO items must be created or approved, ensuring canceled PO items are not considered for Pre-Order.

2. The promise date of a PO item must be in the future, guaranteeing that purchase order items will arrive in the future, not from an old PO.

3. The current inventory of the item must be 0, indicating it's out of stock and qualified for Pre-Order or backorder.

4. If the 'isNewProduct' field of a PO is marked as “yes”, it’s identified as a Pre-Order product; if marked “no”, it's categorized as a backorder product.

Products from purchase orders that don't meet these criteria won't be listed in HotWax Commerce's pre-order catalog. It's important to ensure that purchase order items adhere to these criteria for accurate listing.
