Distributor product selection
This topic explains how to select products in the Distribution and Supply Workbench.
The Add to Warehouse and Remove from Warehouse features are available only to allowlisted users. Distributors who onboard on or after January 1, 2025 are automatically allowlisted. If your account is not allowlisted, you can ignore the warehousing status.
In addition to using the console, you can also manage products in the warehouse by using an API. For more information, see Scenario 2: Synchronize and return products by using search APIs in Product API best practices.
After a channel provider makes products available to you, they are synchronized to your product pool. You can then select products by adding them to the warehouse. The system uses different product message sending strategies for products based on their warehousing status. If your account is not allowlisted for this feature, you can ignore this information. For more information, see Scenario 2: Synchronize and return products by using search APIs in Product API best practices.
