Written by Emily Burrows

As your business grows, so does the complexity - more SKUs, vendors, channels, and data.

This month’s updates focus on helping you manage that complexity with **faster workflows, better automation, and improved visibility** across inventory, bills, ads, and transactions.

# 📦 Inventory

## Bulk PO Upload via CSV (InventoryIQ)

You can now upload **one or multiple purchase orders (POs)** at once using a CSV file.

#### What you can include

- Products (existing or new SKUs)
- Vendors
- Placement and production start dates
- Direct costs
- Indirect costs

#### How it works

- If a SKU doesn’t exist, it will be **created automatically**
- If no vendor is specified, Finaloop will assign the **most relevant vendor** based on past activity
- Indirect costs are **automatically allocated proportionally** based on direct costs. You can adjust this on the PO page.
- Duplicate POs are flagged based on PO name to prevent double uploads.
- The system validates uploads and flags issues (e.g., missing data, locked periods).

#### Additional capabilities

- **Review mode:** Review only flagged POs that require attention  
- **Historical uploads:** View and delete uploads from the last 90 days

## Product Cost Management (InventoryIQ)

You can now manage **product costs by vendor and over time** directly from the SKU page.

**What’s included**

- Set cost changes by date (e.g., $4.50 → $5.50)
- Track multiple vendors per SKU
- Mark vendors as inactive at the SKU level
- Add vendor-specific SKU codes

**Improvements to PO creation**

- Costs are **auto-populated** based on vendor and PO date
- Filter products by vendor when creating POs
- View historical POs per vendor from the SKU page

**Why this matters**

- Eliminates repetitive cost entry
- Improves visibility into vendor pricing
- Reduces ordering errors

To manage vendor costs per SKU: Go to **Inventory>Products>** click into a specific product>Click **Product details> Manage vendor costs.**

## Shopify Inventory Sync Flexibility (Sales-Based)

You can now control exactly what data is synced from Shopify.

#### New options

- Sync quantities
- Sync cost per unit

These can now be managed independently under:

​ **Inventory → Settings → General → Report per SKU**

If cost sync is turned off, Shopify cost data will no longer override your Finaloop data.

## Product-Level Enhancements

We added several improvements to product management:

- Add **notes and attachments** to products
- Create and filter by **product tags**
- View **platform pricing** (Shopify, Amazon, TikTok Shop)
- Set **custom prices per customer** based on dates or set a default SKU price for invoices, so the right price is automatically applied when creating an invoice
