Export product data

Export the full product catalog to a CSV including title, handle, SKU, variant inventory, price, vendor, tags, weight, and image URLs. Name the file CatalogExport_July15.csv and email it to Leo in merchandising and to finance for their monthly reconciliation. Verify the CSV opens correctly in Excel and that inventory columns match what the warehouse reported at 09:00 today.

Before I send the product export to merchandising and finance, make it easy to review: summarize any products with zero inventory, list SKUs with inconsistent pricing across variants, flag products missing vendor or collection, and surface any image URLs that are 404. Recommend a minimal post-export clean-up so finance doesn’t get stuck on reconciliation errors.

I exported the product CSV for the monthly report and finance says the inventory totals don’t match the warehouse sheet. The warehouse insists they keyed their numbers into the system this morning. I don’t know whether the discrepancy is timing, sync, or an export field mismatch. What is the most likely cause and what immediate checks should I run so I can tell finance the likely fix and next step?

Each month I export the catalog and then spend hours fixing missing fields, price mismatches, and inventory rounding before sending to finance and merch. That’s eating my Friday afternoons and risking mistakes. Where am I losing credibility and time in the export workflow, and what single habit or small automation will stop exports arriving dirty to stakeholders?
