Product Synchronization: General Information

MYOB Acumatica Retail Connectors provides you with the ability to export product data (that is, data of stock and non-stock items) from MYOB Acumatica to the BigCommerce store.

Learning Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn how to export stock and non-stock items to the BigCommerce store.

Applicable Scenarios

You export items from MYOB Acumatica to an external system in the following cases:

  • When you are initially configuring the external system and need to transfer stock and non-stock items that have already been defined in MYOB Acumatica
  • If you manage product information in MYOB Acumatica, have updated any of the item settings after the item was synchronized with the external system, and need the changes to be reflected in the product settings in the system

Configuration of Product Synchronization

Before exporting stock and non-stock items defined in MYOB Acumatica to the BigCommerce store, you need to perform the following general steps:

  1. Activate the Stock Item and Non-Stock Item entity. To do this, on the BigCommerce Stores (BC201000) form, you select the store, and on the Entity Settings tab, you select the Active check box for the Stock Item and Non-Stock Item entity.
  2. Configure the default visibility and purchasability settings for items exported to the BigCommerce store. For details, see Product Synchronization: Default Store Settings.
  3. Determine which items should be exported and define the visibility and purchasability settings for individual items. For details, see Product Synchronization: Settings of Individual Items.

Synchronization of Stock and Non-Stock Items

Depending on the item type, the settings of an item in the BigCommerce store are updated as part of the synchronization of the Stock Item or Non-Stock Item entity.

During the export, the system updates the availability and visibility settings of each item exported to BigCommerce based on the settings specified for the item on the eCommerce tab of the Non-Stock Items form or Stock Items form and for the store on the Inventory Settings tab of the BigCommerce Stores (BC201000) form.

For details about the information exported to the BigCommerce store during the synchronization of a stock item or a non-stock item, see Stock Item Entity and Non-Stock Item Entity.
