As and when inventory is replenished or depleted in NetSuite, the inventory information (quantity available) is automatically exported to Walmart, keeping both systems always in sync.
When you want to sync the inventory, run the inventory data flow from integrator.io.
The status of the data flow is visible in the integrator.io dashboard. The status color codes are:
Green: when all records are exported successfully
Red: indicates flow with errors
Partial Green, Partial Red: some records passed successfully, few failed (number of failed records is indicated in errors column). Error handling is discussed as a separate topic
The Walmart listed item is then updated with the quantity that's available in NetSuite.

Settings for Walmart Inventory to NetSuite Inventory Add Flow
Advanced Settings: Save the settings after selecting the relevant values.
- Select the NetSuite saved search for syncing inventory levels: Use the 'Refresh' option to fetch the latest records from NetSuite
- Always sync inventory levels for entire catalog: Syncs inventory for all the NetSuite items linked to Walmart, every time inventory export data flow runs
- NetSuite locations to pick inventory from Select the NetSuite locations to pick inventory from Inventory export data flow picks the inventory (for all the NetSuite items linked to Walmart) from the chosen NetSuite locations and syncs/exports it to Walmart. If multiple locations are selected, the inventory from all these locations is added to the total and synced to Walmart.
Note: Some of the inventory for the items goes to reserve. The reserved quantity is not visible. Whenever a buyer puts the item in the cart, before checkout, this adds to the reserve. The reserve changes from time to time depending on the activity done by the buyers on the website. The final quantity updated comprises of Reserve + Order generated before fulfillment+ current stock. Final Displayed Quantity is the combination of the above three parameters.

We need to sync the shipNode, but I'm not seeing that as an option in the walmart-inventory-import-adaptor import. The API docs indicate it is supported: https://developer.walmart.com/api/us/mp/inventory#operation/updateInventoryForAnItem and https://developer.walmart.com/api/us/mp/inventory#operation/updateMultiNodeInventory. Any way we can use this?
