To enter items into SellerEngine Plus directly, use your scanner to read bar codes or type in the Product ID (ASIN, UPC, EAN, or ISBN) for the item.
If there are different ASINs in the Amazon catalog for one EAN, you are given the option to use field 'ASIN 1' in the Add window dialog when scanning the product, in order to tell the software which ASIN to use for price check. The 'ASIN 1' you have typed in will be considered and will not be overwritten.
Add Items:
- To access the New Inventory Item dialog take one of the following actions:
- From the Inventory menu, select 'Add Book' or 'Add Other Item' and choose the type of item you are adding.
- From the toolbar, select 'Add' and select the type of item you are adding.
- The New Inventory Item dialog appears, with the template for the item type you are adding. If you are adding several items with similar characteristics, you may want to edit and save your template so that you won't have to configure the settings for each item you add.
- To assign SKUs for the items you add at this time, make sure that SKU generation is configured correctly. (You may assign SKUs to your items later if you wish.)
- Using the dialog, select the correct condition for your item.
- Enter any other information you would like to add for the item at this time. This information can also be edited later.
- In the 'Product ID' text entry box under 'Item Details', enter the ISBN, ASIN or UPC number of your item.
- If you use your scanner, if it is set up to automatically send a carriage return for you, it will have the effect of choosing 'Add', and the item will be added, leaving the dialog up for your next product entry.
- If you typed in the product ID, press the 'Enter' key to add the item and keep the dialog box up, or click 'Add & Close' to add the item and keep the template up for the next item.
- If you do not know the product ID for your item, you can find it using a title search.
- When you are finished adding items, choose
Add & Close
for your last item. If the dialog is empty and you have no more items to add, click 'Cancel' to close the dialog.
