Updates to Inventory CSV file Columns

Shopify Updates: 

Update

We've added a On hand (new) column to the inventory CSV and renamed On hand to On hand (current). This helps prevent merchants from accidentally overwriting current stock quantities with outdated data. Now merchants can safely update bin names and other product details by leaving the On hand (new) field blank, and their current inventory levels stay untouched.

Important

If you use automated tools, scripts, or external systems with your inventory CSV, you’ll need to update them before using this feature. Otherwise, your imports or workflows may break.
