Inventory Table Features

The Inventory table is where you analyse, filter, manage suppliers, and start purchase orders. It combines Shopify data with Synplex insights.

Columns That Matter​

You'll see many columns. Common ones:

  • Grade – A/B/C classification
  • Status – Healthy, Running Low, Stock Gap, Overstocked, Out of Stock
  • Supplier – Primary supplier
  • Location – Stock per warehouse
  • Stock-out date / Days to order – Reorder urgency
  • In transit – Units on open POs
  • Tags / Vendor – Shopify metadata

Use the Columns panel to show/hide. Reorder frequently-used columns to the left.

Variant vs Product View​

You can switch between views:

Variant view:
├─ Each size/color is a row
├─ Best for: Detailed SKU-level decisions
└─ Example: Only "white / size S" is overstocked

Product view:
├─ One row per product, aggregated metrics
├─ Best for: Quick portfolio overview
└─ Example: "Blue T-Shirt" (all sizes combined)

Use variant view for fine-grained analysis. Use product view for quick scans.

Filtering & Saved Views​

Filters narrow down the catalog. Saved views turn filters into reusable analyses.

Common analysis patterns:

Replenishment view:
├─ Status: Running Low OR Stock Gap
├─ Grade: A
├─ Stock-out: next 30 days

Supplier view:
├─ Supplier: specific supplier name
├─ Status: Overstocked or Running Low

Brand view:
├─ Vendor or tag: specific brand
├─ All statuses

Once a view is configured, save it for one-click access. See the separate Saved Views guide for details.

Managing Suppliers from the Table​

You can assign or update suppliers without editing products one by one:

  1. Filter products that should share a supplier (e.g., all Nike items)
  2. Multi-select the rows
  3. Use Actions menu to set supplier, lead time, or MOQ

This ensures important products have correct supplier data.

Creating POs from the Table​

The table is the fastest way to start a new PO:

Step 1: Open a replenishment view
├─ Status: Running Low or Stock Gap
├─ Grade: A
└─ Optional: Filter by supplier or location

Step 2: Select products you want to reorder

Step 3: Click "Add to PO"
├─ Create new PO, or
└─ Add to existing PO

Step 4: Fill in quantities, costs, shipments as usual

Starting from a filtered view ensures you only order what actually needs restocking, avoiding over-ordering.

Jumping to Product Profiles​

Click a product name to open its product profile, where you see detailed metrics for that single product and its variants.

Use profiles when you want to:

  • Check performance of one item
  • See which POs include that product
  • Inspect stock by location and variant
