Columns include SKU, SKU Type, Product Title, Quantity, ASIN, Min / Max Price, Status, EAN, and Account. Bulk actions, search, and per-record edit are all driven from here. 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.](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory#marketplace-tabs)) 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). | Button | Action | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Add a Product** | Opens the [Add a Product wizard](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/add-a-product). | | **Import Inventory** | Opens the [bulk import flow](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/import-and-export#import). | | **Export Inventory** | Opens the [export profile picker](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/import-and-export#export). | | **Export Image** | Exports the master image set (URLs and binaries). | | **Block at SKU Status** | Marks selected rows as Blocked, removing them from listing pushes. | | **Import / Export Log** | Opens the import / export job history. | | **Manage Bundle** | Opens the bundle / kit configuration for SKUs of `Bundle SKU` type. | | **Delete** | Deletes selected SKUs after a confirmation dialog. | | **Delete Log** | History of recent deletes. | | **Stock Movement Log** | Cross-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: | Button | Action | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Inactive Inventory** | Mark selected SKUs as inactive across listings. | | **Suspend Inventory** | Suspend selected SKUs (pulled from listings without delete). | | **Old Tag** | Apply the Old SKU tag (used for end-of-life mass actions). | | **Manage Flags** | Open 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. ## Filters and search 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 | Column | What 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). | | **Action** | The **Edit** link. Click to open the per-SKU edit form (the same seven-tab form the [Add a Product wizard](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/add-a-product) uses, pre-populated with the SKU's current data). | | **Product SKU** | The SKU code. Examples: DK002-NAV-7/8, DK001B-PUR-5/6. The format is your choice; CloudHub does not impose a structure. | | **SKU Type** | One of `Master SKU`, `Collection SKU`, `Bundle SKU`, indicating whether the row is a standalone product, a parent of variants, or a kit. | | **Product Title** | The master title. Sometimes blank for SKUs created via marketplace push without a master title set. | | **Total Quantity** | Aggregate on-hand stock across all warehouses. | | **Status** | `Active`, `Inactive`, `Suspended`, `Blocked`. Drives whether the SKU is pushed to listings. | | **Warehouse** | Default warehouse code. | | **Supplier** | Default supplier name. | | **Sales 24 hrs** | Unit sales in the last 24 hours, summed across marketplaces. | | **Sales 7 Days** | Unit sales in the last 7 days. | | **Sales 30 Days** | Unit sales in the last 30 days. | | **EAN** | The 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. ## Next steps * Run the [Graphical Dashboard](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/graphical-dashboard) to find missing images and listing errors. * Bulk-import or export catalogue with [Import and Export](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/import-and-export). * Create a single SKU with [Add a Product](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/optimise-inventory/add-a-product). * Set min / max prices and configure repricing in [Compete](/vortex-apps/cloudhub/compete-repricing).
