Mass inventory update troubleshooting
Not sure what sort of trouble I've gotten myself into. :-)
I made an error and uploaded an older bsx file to update my inventory. I then got an order for parts I didn't have which is what alerted me. When I went to restore a backup it kept many of those old items in inventory. This is because I had to download a restore point then upload as an update. Maybe I did that part wrong? I still had errant inventory.
Next I went to delete all my inventory but the system said that would cause a tear in the space time continuum and I should set all inventory to 0 instead. Alright, done.
I then uploaded a fresh bsx file and expected to be able to root out all 0 quantity items to delete. I did such thing and the result was that my entire inventory showed 0 quantity!
I figured that maybe I had gone too fast for the system so I reuploaded the correct bsx file and waited. I expected to be able to see 0 quantity lots, duplicate lots, etc.
Several days later I now have many duplicate lots (expected) but no option in my inventory to root out duplicate lots (unexpected). I also have no option to find any lots without external ID despite finding them throughout my inventory. I've got many 0 quantity lots, only some of which appear to be due to improper records.
Other than a complete deletion and reupload (only 4 carts open right now) is there a better way to proceed?
