The Inventory Hub is the master SKU view in CloudHub. It is the single source of truth for the catalogue, holding one row per SKU regardless of how many marketplaces it lists on. The marketplace tabs (Amazon, eBay, OnBuy, Cdiscount, FNAC, etc.) are projections of this master view filtered to that channel’s listings. This page walks through the columns, the bulk actions, the search and filter controls, and the workflows you would actually run from this screen.

​
How to open

There are three routes to the Inventory Hub:
  1. Click Inventory Hub (Common Inventory) in the Quick Links strip of the top navigation. This is the fastest path.
  2. Click Services, then choose [Optimise] Inventory Management, then click Inventory Hub in the sub-menu.
  3. From any marketplace tab inside the [Optimise] module, click the All tab on the left of the marketplace strip; that returns you to the master view.
The breadcrumb reads Home > Optimise > Inventory.

​
The tab strip

Across the top of the table runs a horizontal tab strip: ALL Amazon eBay Shopify FBA Inventory Inventory Images The ALL tab is the master view (the screenshot example shows it active). The remaining tabs are filters that scope the table to records flagged for that channel. Inventory Images is a special filter that restricts the view to records where image management is the focus.

​
The action bar

Above the table sits a row of coloured action buttons. Each button operates on either the selected rows (use the checkbox column on the left) or all rows (clear the checkbox column).
ButtonAction
Add a ProductOpens the Add a Product wizard.
Import InventoryOpens the bulk import flow.
Export InventoryOpens the export profile picker.
Export ImageExports the master image set (URLs and binaries).
Block at SKU StatusMarks selected rows as Blocked, removing them from listing pushes.
Import / Export LogOpens the import / export job history.
Manage BundleOpens the bundle / kit configuration for SKUs of Bundle SKU type.
DeleteDeletes selected SKUs after a confirmation dialog.
Delete LogHistory of recent deletes.
Stock Movement LogCross-link to the [Locate] warehouse stock movement audit log.
A second row of action buttons in different colours (lighter pink / purple / green / red) carries marketplace-specific bulk actions:
ButtonAction
Inactive InventoryMark selected SKUs as inactive across listings.
Suspend InventorySuspend selected SKUs (pulled from listings without delete).
Old TagApply the Old SKU tag (used for end-of-life mass actions).
Manage FlagsOpen the per-SKU flag manager (FBA flag, Featured flag, etc.).
The exact button set depends on your role and the [Configure] permissions for your user. Three filter controls sit just above the table headers:
  1. Select Search Filter Profile, a dropdown of saved filter combinations. Useful for “all SKUs with quantity zero on Amazon” kind of queries you run repeatedly.
  2. Select Search Flag Plan, a dropdown of saved flag-based filters.
  3. Search For, a free-text input for SKU, EAN, ASIN, or product title.
Below the filters, a counter shows Total Products for the current view, broken down across From Products: X, Child Products: Y, Item Relationship Products: Z. This tells you how many of the rows on screen are master SKUs versus child / variant SKUs versus relationship members. The Reset and Clear Search links sit on the right of the filter row. Use them to clear filters quickly.

​
Pagination

The pagination strip sits below the filters. Page controls (First / 1 / 2 / 3 / … / Last) plus a per-page selector (10, 25, 50, 100, All). The exact page count depends on your catalogue size; the screenshot example shows 100 plus pages with 25 per page. A small “Showing 1 to 25 of (total)” caption sits on the left.

​
Columns

ColumnWhat it shows
(checkbox)Selects the row for the action bar’s bulk operations.
(expand)Plus icon. Expands the row to show child SKUs (variants, relationship members).
ActionThe Edit link. Click to open the per-SKU edit form (the same seven-tab form the Add a Product wizard uses, pre-populated with the SKU’s current data).
Product SKUThe SKU code. Examples: DK002-NAV-7/8, DK001B-PUR-5/6. The format is your choice; CloudHub does not impose a structure.
SKU TypeOne of Master SKU, Collection SKU, Bundle SKU, indicating whether the row is a standalone product, a parent of variants, or a kit.
Product TitleThe master title. Sometimes blank for SKUs created via marketplace push without a master title set.
Total QuantityAggregate on-hand stock across all warehouses.
StatusActive, Inactive, Suspended, Blocked. Drives whether the SKU is pushed to listings.
WarehouseDefault warehouse code.
SupplierDefault supplier name.
Sales 24 hrsUnit sales in the last 24 hours, summed across marketplaces.
Sales 7 DaysUnit sales in the last 7 days.
Sales 30 DaysUnit sales in the last 30 days.
EANThe EAN / barcode. Required for most European marketplaces.
Other columns may appear depending on your VendorDB’s configured Inventory Hub layout. A super-admin can adjust which columns are visible from [Configure] > Inventory Settings.

​
Master, Collection, and Bundle SKUs

The SKU Type column is the master taxonomy of catalogue records:
  • Master SKU: a standalone product. One row per SKU.
  • Collection SKU: a parent that has child variants (size, colour, finish). The collection is what listings reference; the children carry the per-variant stock and price.
  • Bundle SKU: a kit of two or more component SKUs sold as one unit. Bundle SKU stock is computed from the lowest-bound component (you cannot sell more bundles than the rarest component allows).
The expand chevron on the row reveals the children of a Collection or Bundle.

​
Common workflows from the Inventory Hub

​
Find a single SKU

Use the Search For field. Type any of: full SKU, partial SKU, EAN, ASIN, or product title fragment. The table filters as you type.

​
Bulk-edit prices

  1. Tick the rows you want.
  2. Click Export Inventory, choose your price-only export profile, save the file.
  3. Edit the file in Excel.
  4. Click Import Inventory, upload the edited file under a price-update import profile.
  5. CloudHub validates and writes back, then pushes the price changes to listings.
This round-trip is the safest way to bulk-edit because the export carries the exact column structure the import expects.

​
Block out-of-stock SKUs from pushing

  1. Filter to Total Quantity = 0 via a saved filter profile or by sorting the column.
  2. Tick the rows.
  3. Click Block at SKU Status.
The SKUs are now flagged Blocked and CloudHub will not push them to marketplace listings until you unblock.

​
Spot a fast-mover at risk of stockout

Sort by Sales 7 Days descending. Check the Total Quantity column for low values on the top rows. Any row with high Sales 7 Days and low Total Quantity is a stockout risk; intervene by reordering or by suspending listings on the channel that is consuming stock fastest.

​
Records counter and totals

A small footer caption below the table reports the totals: Total Products: (count) (From Products: X, Child Products: Y, Item Relationship Products: Z. New Relationship Products: A). This is the authoritative count for the current view and is the number you would report to a stakeholder asking “how many SKUs do we have?”.

​
Common questions

The Edit link on a row does nothing. Almost always a popup blocker. The edit form opens in a modal or a new tab depending on your CloudHub release. Allow popups for 247cloudhub.co.uk in your browser. The Total Quantity is showing zero but I know I have stock. Three possibilities. First, the stock is in a warehouse not assigned to this VendorDB; check the [Locate] warehouse view. Second, the SKU has child variants that hold the stock and the parent collection-SKU row sums to zero because the parent itself is not stocked. Expand the row and look at the children. Third, a recent sync drained the displayed quantity; check the Stock Movement Log. Sales 24 hrs is zero on a SKU I sold this morning. The Sales columns are recomputed on a periodic batch, not in real time. They will catch up within an hour. Some rows have a Master SKU type but no Product Title. The SKU was created via a marketplace push without a master title. Open the row and complete the title in the Basic Details tab. Can I add a custom column? Custom column visibility is configured at the VendorDB level by a super-admin. Out-of-the-box columns are listed above; bespoke columns require platform-level configuration.
