Clone Product & Update Quantity | O2VEND Catalog Management

Learn how to clone products and quickly update inventory quantities in O2VEND. Duplicate existing products with all configurations and manage stock efficiently across warehouses.

The Clone Product feature allows creating a new catalog product by duplicating an existing product with all its configurations, while assigning a new product name.
This helps speed up catalog creation when multiple products share similar attributes, pricing logic, or operational settings.

Cloned products inherit key configurations such as General details, pricing rules, attributes, stock behavior, SEO data, and linked settings, which can be adjusted after creation.

Why Use Clone Product

Cloning a product is useful to:

  • Reduce manual data entry during product creation
  • Maintain consistency across similar products
  • Quickly launch variants or similar catalog items
  • Reuse pricing, tax, inventory, and configuration logic
  • Improve operational efficiency for large catalogs

How to Clone a Product

Follow the steps below to clone an existing product:

Tip

Clone products first and update only the required fields such as name, SKU, price, or attributes.
This approach significantly reduces product setup time and ensures configuration consistency.

The Print Barcode button allows generating and printing barcode labels for the selected product directly from the Edit Product screen.

These barcodes are commonly used for inventory management, POS billing, warehouse operations, and product identification.

How Print Barcode Works

When Print Barcode is clicked:

  1. The system generates a barcode based on the product’s unique identifier (such as SKU or internal product code)
  2. A printable barcode layout is created
  3. The barcode can be printed and attached to:
    • Product packaging
    • Shelves or bins
    • Inventory labels

Note
Barcode generation is read-only and does not modify product data.
Changes to product identifiers may require reprinting barcodes for accuracy.

Update Product Quantity

The Update Product Quantity feature allows adjusting stock levels directly from the product list page without opening individual product records.
It is commonly used for quick stock corrections, bulk updates, and warehouse-based adjustments.
