Export Inventory To Walmart

  • Exporting inventory from Odoo to Walmart ensures that your Walmart listings always reflect the correct stock levels from your Odoo warehouse. It works for every Walmart marketplace.

Note

This applies to stock you hold. A pure WFS instance does not export inventory — Walmart holds that stock and is the source of truth for it, so the connector imports it instead. See Import WFS Inventory From Walmart.

On an instance set to Both, the export covers your own warehouse. Keep your WFS stock in the separate WFS Warehouse so it is not counted twice.

Which Quantity Is Sent

The quantity comes from the Stock Based On setting on the instance:

  • Free To Use Quantity: Quantity on Hand − Reserved Quantity

  • Quantity On Hand

  • Forecasted Quantity: Quantity on Hand − Outgoing + Incoming

Tip

Free To Use Quantity is the safest choice for marketplace selling, because it excludes stock already promised to other orders and so reduces the risk of overselling.

Note

You can also cap what is sent for an individual item, either as a fixed number or as a percentage of the available stock, on the listing item itself. Use this to hold some stock back from Walmart.

    Inventory Automatic Export

Stock moves far more often than price, so this scheduled action runs every 30 minutes by default. See Automatic Jobs.

Important

Keep this scheduled action active. Stale stock on Walmart leads to overselling, cancellations, and damage to your seller metrics.
