# Getting Started with eHub Inventory

Inventory tracking is essential for running a successful business. It allows you to monitor stock levels, prevent overselling, and make informed inventory decisions.

Follow the steps below to begin tracking inventory in eHub:

### **1. Upload Inventory via CSV File**

Start by uploading your existing inventory using a **CSV file**.  
Only the **SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)** is required, but you can include any of the following columns (in any order, as you'll map them during the upload):

- SKU\*
- Product Name
- Description
- Image URL
- HS Code (Harmonized System Code)
- Country of Origin
- Barcodes
- Hazmat Type
- SKU Alias
- Pick Sequence
- Price
- Weight (oz)
- Weight (lbs)
- Length (in)
- Width (in)
- Height (in)
- Retail Price
- Location
- On Hand Count (Quantity)

Once your CSV is ready, upload it into the inventory tracking system.  
For detailed upload instructions, refer to this article: https://knowledge.ehub.com/importing-products-in-ehub-ship

---

### **2. Disable Inventory Tracking (Product Level)**

For products that don’t require inventory tracking (e.g., digital goods):

- Go to the **Inventory** section
- Select the product
- Click the **Location** tab
- Toggle the **Track Inventory** slider to **off** (it will turn grey)

---

### **3. Verify Inventory Accuracy**

After uploading your inventory:

- Cross-check inventory levels against physical stock
- Review data for accuracy
- Check for any discrepancies with your accounting or POS systems

---

### **4. Enable Inventory Tracking at the Store Level**

Enable inventory tracking for supported eCommerce platforms to keep inventory counts synced and avoid overselling.

Supported stores include:

- BigCommerce
- Cart Rover (and integrations through Cart Rover)
- Magento
- Shopify
- Squarespace
- Square
- WooCommerce

---

### **5. Configure Error Handling Options**

Go to **Settings \> Inventory Configurations** to choose how the system should respond when inventory is below zero:

- **Do Not Allow** – Prevent label creation if inventory is negative
- **Allow Shipment** – Always allow label creation, even with negative inventory
- **Allow Shipment with Admin Override** – Require admin approval to proceed with negative inventory

---

### **6. Enable Inventory Tracking at the Account Level**

Once everything is set up, activate inventory tracking:

- Go to **Settings \> Inventory Configurations**
- Set **Inventory Tracking** to **Enabled**
