The sorter allows you to configure rules using criteria such as sales rank and competitors' pricing to determine whether to keep an item in inventory, send it to FBA or not to list it.

The sorter creates two kinds of rules, keepers and throwers, which alert you to either keep the items and list them, or to discard them or refrain from listing them. One sorter rule can have multiple keepers and throwers, or can be made up of just one keeper or thrower.

To Create a Sorter

  1. Open the sorter either form the Edit window or from the Quick Add view.
    •  
    • Edit window:

                 

  • Quick Add Window:

          

  1. Name the sorter filter.

     

  1. Select the type of filter to be configured: Keeper, which will set the value to keep if the condition is met, or Thrower, which sets the value to throw if the condition is not met.
  2. Previously configured filters can be edited by going to the Modify filter area and selecting a filter to modify from the drop down list.
  3. Press NEXT to go to the configuration window.

       

  1. Set values from the drop down list to define a filter rule.
  2. For each condition there are three actions:
Condition Actions
Condition Action
Add condition Adds a new condition to the filter. The two conditions are connected with a AND or OR connector
Remove condition Removes the condition from the filter
Expand condition Expands the current condition, allowing for a more advanced filtering.
  1. After the conditions are set, name the filter and press NEXT to go to the final window where you are presented with three choices:
    • Finish
    • Add a new keeper to the sorter
    • Add a new thrower to the sorter

    Adding a new keeper or thrower to the sorter will create an OR statement.

  1. When you have added all the conditions you need to this sorter, click Finish.

       

To apply a sorter to your items:

  1. Create a sorter.
  2. Assign the sorter to your inventory through the edit dialog, or add new items through the Quick Add window, with your sorter selected.
  3. Run a price check if you chose to add the sorter to items already in inventory.
  4. Right click on the items and then click on Run Sorter. 

The reults will appear in the 'SorterResult' column. If you cannot find it in the grid, it means that you have to make it visible using the Customize Inventory Grid option.

When entering items through the Quick Add dialog, an alert will play as the item is sorted. The Sorter Result column contains the result of the filter, and the Sorter column shows the name of the sorter used.
