Shopify Runs the Store. AnyDB Runs Inventory Operations.

The Shopify Sync App brings store data into the workspace. The Inventory app uses those records for purchasing, receiving, replenishment, transfers, counts, and reporting.

Products, variants, locations, inventory levels, and orders from Shopify sync
Available and incoming quantities by variant and location
Reorder points, minimum stock, and maximum stock for each inventory level
Supplier item lists, costs, lead times, minimum orders, and payment terms
Purchase orders from draft through partial receipt and close
SKU scanning during purchase-order receiving
Adjustments, transfers, and stocktakes with movement history
Sales-based replenishment suggestions and inventory reports
Set up the connected apps

Sync Shopify First

Connect a Shopify store and let the sync populate the workspace with the product, variant, location, inventory-level, and order types.

Install Inventory

A team owner installs the Inventory app, binds the workspace, and creates any missing Inventory types and fields in Settings.

Use Connected Records

Inventory stores its work as ordinary AnyDB records, available in views, reports, and automations.

What the Inventory App Actually Does

Run daily inventory work in a dedicated interface while keeping its records available across AnyDB.

Shopify-Connected Stock

Use Shopify-synced products, variants, locations, inventory levels, and orders as the starting point.

Replenishment Suggestions

Consider sales rate, supplier lead time and minimum order, pack sizes, and stock thresholds.

Purchase Orders & Receiving

Draft POs by supplier and location, send a PDF or email, and receive full or partial deliveries by SKU.

Transfers & Stocktakes

Track dispatched and received stock between locations, then count and post discrepancies.

Reports & Stocky Import

Review stock value, ABC analysis, best sellers, and movements; import Stocky cost lists, POs, and stocktakes.

1Inventory by Location

See Every Variant at Every Location

The Inventory screen lists available and incoming quantities, unit cost, and supplier for each variant at each location. Open a row for its history and stock thresholds.

Inventory Position

2Review available and incoming quantities
3Set reorder point, minimum, and maximum stock
4Open the movement history when quantities change

Variant & Location

Filter by location or vendor and inspect stock for a specific variant.

Reorder Settings

Set reorder points, minimum stock, and maximum stock for replenishment.

Movement History

See what changed, when, why, and by whom for app-made stock changes.

2Purchasing & Receiving

Go From Replenishment to Received Stock

Manage brands as vendors and purchasing partners as suppliers. Supplier records hold item costs, lead times, minimum order values, and payment terms.

Purchase-to-Receive Flow
1Select a supplier and receiving location
2Build a draft from replenishment suggestions
3Mark it ordered and send by email or PDF
4Receive by SKU; record partial, rejected, or extra units

Keep each supplier’s products and costs alongside purchasing terms.

Track Draft, Ordered, Partially received, Received, Closed, Cancelled, and Archived orders.

Receiving

Add accepted units to the destination location, even when a delivery arrives in parts.

3Replenishment

See items already out of stock, below the reorder point, or projected to run out before an order can arrive. Forecast demand using a chosen sales window.

Replenishment Flow

4Movements & Stocktakes

Keep Stock Changes Traceable

Correct stock with a reason, transfer it between locations, or count part or all of a location. Inventory Movement records give each app-made change a history.

Stock Control Flow
1Adjust stock and record the reason
2Send a transfer from its origin location
3Receive it in full or in part at the destination
4Count stock, review differences, and post them

Adjustments

Correct a location’s stock with a recorded reason.

Transfers

Stock leaves the origin when sent and reaches the destination when received; suggested transfers can use spare stock elsewhere.

Count selected items or a whole location and post all reviewed differences as one adjustment.

Supplier Item

A supplier’s item and cost, used with lead time and purchasing terms.

Purchase Order

Supplier, location, lines, statuses, and received quantities.

Inventory Movement

A record of an app-made stock change, with the time, reason, and person.

Send Purchase Orders And Export Reports

Download a purchase order as PDF, email it when Inventory email is configured, and export filtered Inventory reports as CSV.
