Part SKU not found error when zapping a new order from WooCommerce to sos inventory

Zap Error:

Failed to create a sales order in SOS Inventory

The app returned "Unable to match item 'TAP A5102428'".
 
Part as it exists in SOS
Part as it is entered in Woocommerce

Any ideas how to fix this?  I’ve tried turning the zap off then back on.  I’m wondering if it’s somekind of formatting difference?

I found the solution:

Leaving the item line as “Line Items Sku” Which apparently looks at the SOS Inventory “item name” (which in my case is the same as the SKU) I then had to go to inventory settings and check the box for “ Find Items by Short Name” which fixed the problem.  I retested the zap and it worked!  Hope this helps someone else.

Hi @INIR 

The expected Item value may be the Item ID, rather than the SKU.
