After selecting an item to list, you'll be taken to an item details screen. This page contains three distinct areas, the item information, your listing details, and the offers and research area.
Item Information
The item information area displays the item ASIN, Title, Rank, Category, Size Tier, and Prep Type.
You can click on the title to be taken to the item detail page.
Adding Listing Details
While listing, you are able to fill in the below details for an item:
Reminder - Set up a date to remind of when will soon expire, or something else.
Reminder Message - Add a message to your reminder.
Tax Code - If you collect taxes on your items, choose the tax code for it. For more information on Product Tax Codes, see Amazon's help page.
Dangerous Goods Information - You are required to provide dangerous goods information for all new MSKUs that you are converting to FBA. You will enter this information within this area. The default is set to No.
Quantity - Enter the quantity you will be sending to Amazon. For a merchant-fulfilled back, this is the amount you currently have available to sell.
Total Cost/Unit - Enter your buy cost as you list. This information is then transferred to the Inventory and Accounting tabs. For multiple buy costs for one ASIN in the batch, please reference Enter Multiple Buy Costs During List. You also have the option to add in Sales Tax, Discounts, or Other Costs by turning on the Total Cost Calculator.
Purchased - This is the date you purchased the item.
Expiration - This is only required for certain items. Due to limitations within the Amazon API system, InventoryLab is unable to determine automatically which items require this field. If you are unsure, please visit the help pages in Seller Support regarding expiration dates. To toggle the feature on and off, click the eye next to the field. If you need to add multiple expiration dates, please reference Adding Items to a Batch With Multiple Expiration Dates.
Supplier - Here you can enter a supplier. Favorites can be set up in the Settings Menu
Estimated Shipping - You can add in an estimated shipping rate per lb. This will affect your estimated net profit shown on the page.
MSKU - An MSKU will populate here based on your MSKU settings, but you can add your own. If you replenished an item, it will be the existing MSKU.
Condition - The condition of your item based on Amazon's Condition Guidelines.
Condition Notes - Add a note to any condition that is not New. To set up default notes, follow the steps here.
List Price - Set the price in which you will sell your item. You can set up Auto Price Rules by clicking on the pencil icon. This calculated with your fees, cost/unit, and estimated shipping will calculate an estimated Net Profit per Unit.
- ROI - You have the option to enter your ideal ROI and allow InventoryLab adjust your List Price for you. ROI is (Total Net Profit / Total Buy Cost) * 100.
Min & Max - Set up your Min & Max price information. You can set up Auto Rules for this by clicking on the pencil icon.
Many of these can be set up to default to the last used data.
