FAQs: Automatically Adding Sold Items to a Store

FAQs: Automatically Adding Sold Items to a Store

Self-hosted admin  ·  Yellow Dog Inventory 2026

 WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

This article is for self-hosted clients. It explains behavior that saves you from manually assigning an item to a store the first time it sells there.

Question

If an item sells in a store where it wasn’t set up yet, can Yellow Dog add it to that store automatically?

Answer

Yes. When an item sells in a store where it wasn’t already available, Yellow Dog Inventory automatically makes that item available to the store, so you don’t have to assign it by hand.

This is built into ProcessSalesData.exe. Because self-hosted clients manage their own setup, the behavior applies as long as ProcessSalesData.exe is set up and scheduled to run. Your IT team or whoever maintains your Yellow Dog setup handles this.
