Match Products - linking an existing catalogue

For a 3PL that already holds your catalogue, Match Products (Products page > Perform Operation, or the button on the instance) pulls the 3PL's full item list and auto-matches it to Odoo products by SKU first, barcode second:

  • Matched items get a Synced binding storing the 3PL's product id and the remote SKU exactly as the 3PL reports it.
  • Items already bound are left untouched.
  • Unmatched items are logged, never created. The match run's Sync Log entry lists every 3PL SKU that found no Odoo product, so you can decide what they are - the connector will not invent products in your database from warehouse data.

Example - onboarding. Sprint already stocks 204 of your SKUs. Run Match Products: 195 match by SKU and become Synced without a single API write; the log lists 9 unmatched codes - 6 turn out to be retired products, 3 are typos in Sprint's catalogue you ask them to fix. Then use Add in Bulk for genuinely new products going forward.
