Omnichannel Integration is one of the features that DealPOS has, so that when there is a sale transaction on the Marketplace, it can be recorded into the POS and automatically generate sales reports, and can also record stock reductions from sales in the marketplace. Of course, the integration of this marketplace will make it easier to record sales reports, especially if the marketplace used to sell is more than 1 channel.
Based on the picture above, DealPOS has indeed provided a feature to automatically synchronize orders and product stock where orders from channels will be retrieved automatically to DealPOS, and product stocks between channels and DealPOS will be synchronized automatically. To activate the synchronize feature, users can access the channel menu in DealPOS Omni, choose the channel then click the configure button.
I. Mismatch Cause
However, several conditions cause the synchronization of orders and stocks not to work, causing the following problems :
Missing Orders
Orders made on channels are not placed on DealPOS.
Wrong Status Orders
Different order statuses between channels and DealPOS. For example, on the channel the status of the order is complete, but on DealPOS it is still "Unpaid" or "Unsent"
Unsynchronized Product Stock
Out-of-sync stock between DealPOS and Channel.
The problem is caused by the server channel at that time was busy (when the order was placed), or there was a big event on the channel (11.11, 12.12, etc.). During a major event, it is certain that one or several of the above problems will occur.
II. Mismatch Solution
So, we highly recommend users take the following two steps to prevent a mismatch in orders and product stock between DealPOS and Channels once a day on a normal day, or twice / thrice a day on a big event period :
