 To prevent this issue, merchants can use `Hard Sync` job once a day to synchronize the inventory counts of all products from HotWax Commerce to Shopify. The synchronization is achieved through the GraphQL file, similar to how inventory synchronization is performed for products with recent updates.
 
+This job supports two parameters to control how inventory is synchronized:
+
+- The facilityGroupId parameter defines which facilities’ inventory is accumulated to calculate the total available quantity.
+
+- The shopifyFacilityGroupId parameter specifies which store facilities’ inventories should be pushed to Shopify. If not specified, inventory will be pushed for all locations mapped in ShopifyShopLocation.
+
+**Example:** A retailer has 50 stores, with 25 in Zone 1 and 25 in Zone 2. He wants to push the total inventory of all 50 stores while mapping inventory to the stores in Zone 2.
+
+- Calculate Inventory: They create a facility group for Zone 1 and Zone 2 and provide its ID in the `facilityGroupId` parameter. This ensures that stock from these stores is included in the total inventory calculation.
+
+- Zone 2 Inventory Sync to Shopify: They create another facility group for the Zone 2 stores and provide its ID in the `shopifyFacilityGroupId` parameter. This directs inventory updates only to the stores included in that facility group.

 **The `Hard Sync` job is used to synchronize the inventory of all the products from HotWax to Shopify once a day.** This job fetches the inventory counts of all products in Shopify and compares them with the inventory counts of all products  in HotWax Commerce. Then it prepares the delta file in GraphQL format for all the products where there is a difference in inventory counts in HotWax compared to Shopify. This delta file is then sent to Shopify, and Shopify updates the inventory counts by recording deltas.

 In cases where HotWax is not used as the source of truth for inventory availability—meaning retailers do not use HotWax for fulfillment and do not have an ERP system for inventory management—HotWax relies on Shopify for inventory updates. To ensure accurate inventory data, this job runs once a day to reset inventory updates for all products.
