# Considerations for Importing Product Availability into Omnichannel Inventory

Keep these considerations in mind when initially importing product availability data for locations and location groups.

Adding or removing locations or location groups after loading inventory availability data can trigger large availability data and cache updates. If you need to make changes, schedule the update during low-order traffic times or change one item at a time.

- Schedule location graph changes for times with low-order traffic.
- If you have scheduled imports, pause them until the changes are complete.
- Add or remove only one location or location group at a time.
- After making a change, wait for the update to finish before importing new inventory availability data.

When using Omnichannel Inventory console app, be sure to select **Sync with OCI** when creating locations and location groups.
