Option Setup

If you sell options on NOTHS & you want to track inventory on Mintsoft - you will need to allocate SKUs to these so that the orders import onto OMS.

You may not have the option SKU manager on your NOTHS platform by default - so you may need to apply to have this added with your NOTHS account manager.

To check if you have got the SKU manager you can edit a product from the NOTHS panel and click on the SKU management tab.

Then you will get an option to Manage SKUs.

If you do not have these options then you need to apply with your NOTHS account manager or you can simply import products against the main listing SKU (but will not work for inventory management of variant SKUS)

If you do not need to manage inventory on Mintsoft, then you can proceed without the SKU Manager.

Import Error Mapping

A mapping allows the system to map the various product options that it gets from NOTHS to real products in the system.

When the system trys to import a order from NOTHS - if it is unable to determine what the product is, it will automatically create a new product mapping error that needs to be mapped to products manually in the system.

It will display an error on the dashboard if it is unable to map directly to a product:

Once created, you can click Edit to add further details:
