Why internal articles exist
On the marketplace, one physical product is often listed under several SKUs — across different shops and different card variants. To track cost of goods and build reports per product rather than per card, MyProfit introduces an internal article («Артикул»): it unifies all the marketplace SKUs of one product into a single entity. The MyProfit interface is in Russian, so on-screen labels are shown here in quotes.
An internal item has two parts: the article («Артикул»), the product code in your records, and the product name («Наименование»). All SKU variants gather under this article.
By default the product name is filled automatically — it’s the marketplace product name in your interface language, and it updates when the card is renamed on the marketplace. If you want your own name, just type it right in the row — it stays as-is in every language. To restore the automatic name, clear the field. Matching a supplier name does not affect the product name.
Link and unlink SKUs
Marketplace SKUs are linked to an article on the catalog page — through an inline autocomplete right in the row:
- Start typing a SKU or a name — matching options appear.
- Pick the right one — the SKU is linked to the article.
- To unlink a SKU that was attached by mistake, click the × next to it in the same row (or deselect it in the autocomplete).
This way you can gather SKUs from different shops and variants under a single article.
An unlinked SKU doesn’t disappear — it returns to its own article, created from its marketplace code. MyProfit computes stock and cost of goods from history by the current link, so the SKU’s marketplace movements are recomputed onto its own article automatically — there’s no separate “restore history” step to run.
Barcodes
Every marketplace SKU has a barcode that Uzum assigns — there is no separate MyProfit barcode. The «Штрихкод» («Barcode») column shows it next to the article (read-only). If several SKUs from different shops are gathered under one article, each has its own barcode: the column shows the first one plus a «+N» counter, and the full «SKU → barcode» list opens on hover and in the expanded row.
You can search by barcode: type or paste it into the «Поиск» («Search») field at the top of the page — the article that SKU is linked to will be found.
Matching supplier names
Supplier product names almost never match your own names. MyProfit maps supplier names to your SKUs many-to-many: one name can point to several SKUs, and one SKU can arrive under different names.
The key convenience: match a name once — and every future transfer with the same spelling matches automatically. That is exactly how you clear the «⚠ Не найден» warning that appears when you import a transfer.
You manage these matches on a separate «Наименования в накладных» («Names on invoices») tab: it lists the supplier names, with the articles linked to each one alongside. Search on this list finds a row by the name itself or by a linked Артикул — so you can locate a row by a product code you already know.
Bundles: one name, several SKUs
If a supplier sends a bundle under a single name, you can match it to several SKUs at once. When that name arrives in a transfer, the quantity is split across all the linked products.
Export and import your catalog
You don’t have to enter the catalog by hand: you can load it all from an Excel (XLSX) file. This helps on first setup or when you add a large batch of products.
The «Экспорт» («Export») button exports the catalog to XLSX in two formats (the current «Поиск» search applies):
- «Для повторного импорта» (“For re-import”) — article, product name and marketplace SKU. You can edit the file in Excel and upload it back; if you change nothing, re-uploading changes nothing.
- «Полный каталог» (“Full catalog”) — all page columns, including barcodes and supplier names on invoices. It’s a reference copy and does not upload back.
Duplicate articles
Sometimes the same product ends up entered as two positions with the same article code. That happens when the product is relisted on the marketplace under a new SKU, or listed in a second shop: MyProfit creates a position for each new marketplace SKU, and their article codes come out identical. Stock, cost of goods and reports are then split between them.
Such positions are marked with a «дубль» (duplicate) chip right in the row. Ticking the «Только дубли» (duplicates only) checkbox at the top of the page leaves only duplicates in the list, so a catalog of thousands of rows can be audited in one pass. Pressing «Экспорт» while it is ticked gives you a file of exactly those filtered rows.
The same article code usually means different products. This happens when two shops use one generic code for unrelated goods — say NABOR plus a colour. The article code then matches while the products have nothing in common: prayer beads in one shop, a whisky glass set in the other. Those positions should not be merged — rename one of the article codes instead. That is why the merge window leads with what is being merged: each position’s name and SKU code. When the names differ, the window warns you outright.
Merging. Click the «дубль» chip and a window shows what you will get: how many marketplace SKUs, supplier invoice names and movements will end up on the single position, and what its cost of goods is now and after the merge. Nothing is lost — every SKU, matched supplier name and invoice link moves to the position that stays.
Two things worth knowing before you confirm:
- The cost of goods can change. It is calculated from the most recent supplier invoice across all the merged positions. If the more recent invoice belonged to the absorbed position, its price becomes the merged position’s cost. That is why the window shows both numbers — before and after.
- Positions that both hold movements cannot be merged. A receipt is recorded against the specific position it was posted to, and merging would rewrite one side’s history. The window says so and offers no merge button — those are resolved by hand.
A merge cannot be undone with a single button, but it is not a trap either: unlink a marketplace SKU from the merged position and it returns to its own article code, with the «дубль» chip reappearing.
Deleting articles
An article you created yourself (via Excel import or by hand) — or one that no longer has any marketplace SKU linked (e.g. a product delisted on the marketplace) — can be deleted, as long as it has no recorded movements yet. Click the trash icon in the article’s row. An automatic article that still has a marketplace SKU linked can’t be deleted: it would reappear on the next sync, so it has no delete button.
If an article already has recorded transfers or movements, deletion is blocked — the trash icon is greyed out, with the hint «Нельзя удалить: есть связанные перемещения» (“Can’t delete: linked transfers exist”). This protects your purchase and stock history. If the article you delete still has marketplace SKUs attached, they return to their own articles — just like unlinking, nothing is lost.
Clear. The «Очистить» (“Clear”) button removes, in one confirmed step, every article with no linked SKU, no matched supplier name, and no movements — the leftover empties, including products delisted on the marketplace. It shows how many articles will be removed before you confirm. Articles that still hold a supplier-name match are left alone.
