Selling Manager Pro – Updating product details
The “Product” page in Selling Manager Pro is the central area for managing product detail information, listing templates, and tracking inventory.
Updating product information
The following product information appears on this page:

If you change the value in the Quantity Available to List field, the value of Total On Hand is automatically recalculated.
If you delete the contents of the Quantity Available to List field and leave it blank, your product quantity will no longer be tracked or automatically updated.
