Non-Stock Item Entity

This topic provides reference information about the standard filtering and field mapping used for the Non-Stock Item entity during the synchronization between MYOB Advanced and Shopify. The topic also contains information about the merging of duplicate records during the synchronization.

Non-Stock Item Filtering

During the export of non-stock items, a non-stock item is skipped if it is a matrix item—that is, a template is specified for the item in the Template ID box on the General tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form. Matrix items are synchronized as part of the synchronization of template items

Merging of Duplicates

During the export of non-stock items from MYOB Advanced, a non-stock item is merged with an existing product in Shopify if its ID in MYOB Advanced—that is, the value in the Inventory ID box on the Non-Stock Items form—matches the SKU of the product in Shopify.
