Import Inventory In Odoo

  • Importing inventory from TikTok Shop to Odoo reads the stock levels TikTok Shop currently holds for your products and records them in Odoo as an inventory adjustment, in the stock location of the warehouse they are held in.

Use it to reconcile, or when a shop’s stock is brought into Odoo for the first time.

Note

This reads the stock of products you fulfill yourself. For stock held by TikTok Shop under Fulfilled by TikTok, see Import FBT Inventory In Odoo.

Important

Set the Stock Location on every sales warehouse that exchanges stock first. Without one the import is refused and says so in the log. See TikTok Warehouses.

What Is Written

  • Only the stock of sales warehouses that have Enable Import/Export Stock? switched on is read.

  • TikTok Shop separates what can still be sold from what is already spoken for, and only what is available is written to Odoo.

  • With Validate Inventory Adjustment? enabled on the instance the adjustment is applied for you; otherwise it is left for you to check and apply.

Physical Inventory

Warning

Importing stock overwrites what Odoo holds for those products in that location. On an Odoo that already tracks its own stock, export to TikTok Shop instead of importing from it.
