What does assigning inventory do?
It attaches selected Product Catalog SKUs to the source(s) that will fulfill them, optionally assigning quantity at the same time.
How do I remap an inventory SKU?
Go to Source Inventory, Actions, Remap Inventory SKUs: choose the source, upload a CSV with SKU and New SKU columns, then Import Inventory SKU Remapping.
Where do I get a file to start from?
Use the export tool to export your source's current inventory SKUs, then fill in the New SKU column.
Does assigning inventory to a new source remove the previous source assignment?
No. When you use the Assign Inventory bulk action, the new source is added to the product. The existing source assignments are retained, allowing the product to be fulfilled by multiple sources. If you need to move a product entirely, you must manually remove the old source assignment after the new one is added.
