How to Unmap and Re-Map Inventory Items Correctly in Webgility Desktop
This article helps Webgility Desktop users resolve product mapping issues in Webgility Desktop, such as error messages or failure to re-map items, by guiding them through clearing stale data, completing syncs, and correctly performing unmapping and re-mapping of inventory items.
Common Signs You're Experiencing This Issue
- You receive an error message when trying to map or unmap an item
- A product doesn't re-map correctly after unmapping
- Mapped products are missing from transactions or sync summaries
- Product associations seem incomplete or incorrect
Step-by-Step Fix
Step 1: Unmap the Item
- Open Webgility Desktop
- Go to Products > Product Mapping
- Search for the item using SKU or Product Name
- Select the item and click Unmap
- Confirm when prompted
Note: If the item doesn’t show up as mapped, try refreshing your product list first (see next step).
Step 2: Refresh Your Product Data
- Still in the Product Mapping screen, click Refresh or use the Sync button
- This will pull in updated inventory data from your connected sales channel and accounting platform
- Wait for the sync to complete before attempting to remap the item
Step 3: Remap the Item Correctly
- Find the item again under Unmapped Items
- Click Map
- Choose the correct destination product from your accounting system
- Confirm the selection
Tip: Make sure the same inventory item isn't mapped to multiple products—that can cause posting errors.
Step 4: Verify Everything Worked
- Ensure the item now appears under Mapped Items
- Run a test sync or post a test order to confirm no further errors occur
- If everything looks good, you’re done!
