Description

Hi, Support Team!
The current Shopify inventory synchronization always performs a full inventory import before exporting stock and does not allow filtering products or skipping the import step.
For customers with large Shopify catalogs, this results in long-running synchronization jobs even when only a small subset of inventory needs to be exported from Business Central.

Business scenario
Customers using shared inventory require inventory to be exported to Shopify after posting Business Central orders, without re-importing all inventory data. Today, the only option is to run a full synchronization, which can take several hours.

Request
Extend the Shopify inventory synchronization to provide more control over import and export behavior.

Requested changes

1. Report 30102 – Shpfy Sync Stock to Shopify
   o Add request page options:
    Skip Import Stock (Boolean)
    Variant ID Filter (Text)
2. Codeunit 30197 – Shpfy Sync Inventory
   o Pass the Skip Import and Variant ID Filter options to the Inventory API
   o Skip inventory import when requested
3. Codeunit 30195 – Shpfy Inventory API
   o Skip inventory import when requested
   o Support forced inventory export
   o Limit synchronization scope by Variant ID

Benefits
• Improved performance for large Shopify stores
• Reduced synchronization time and API usage
• More flexible and scalable inventory synchronization

Summary
This change enables filtering inventories, skipping unnecessary import steps, and forcing inventory exports, improving performance and flexibility while remaining backward compatible.
