Catalog: linking SKUs and matching supplier names

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»), what you call the product. All SKU variants gather under this article.

Link and unlink SKUs

Marketplace SKUs are linked to an article on the catalog page — through an inline autocomplete right in the row:

  1. Start typing a SKU or a name — matching options appear.
  2. Pick the right one — the SKU is linked to the article.
  3. To unlink a SKU that was attached by mistake, remove the link in the same row.

This way you can gather SKUs from different shops and variants under a single article.

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.

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.

Bulk-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.
