c. Batch Item Creation

This is item creation for users who prefer to prepare data offline, and create multiple items at once. First select a prefer data format you like to work offline, and download the template file. Save the file in your local drive to edit later.

Read the instruction & definition of each data field (available in MS Excel template) before working on the file. Some required data must have values, and Newegg uses programming script to validate the SKU details in the file you upload.

User can see view file processing status and result from History portion.

To review items successfully created, user can search item from Item list (Refer to 3b. Item Search & Edit).

d. Item Mapping

Clients may list products for sales differently than inventory through varied sales channels. To assure Newegg Logistics Services understand it correctly while updating inventory or retrieving orders, clients must tell us how to map items of each sales channel through this function.

Users can Search existing item mapping by each Sales Channel, or find existing item mapping of different channels by Seller Part#, Newegg Item#, Sales Channel Seller Part# or Sales Channel Item#.

Users can click Create New Mapping button to map listing products of different sales channels to current items.

First, select a platform, then select if how you would like the rule to apply

Note: All means this rule is shared by all platform accounts for the same platform. Otherwise, the rule will only applied to the specific platform account

Then, click Add Items(s) or Batch Item Mapping if you would like to apply the new rules using a template. Type in your part numbers you wish to add to the new mapping. You can search by Regular item or BOM item. Click Search to show items.

Now you can select the Items you want to add to the rule by checking the box to the left of each Item. Click Add & Continue to search for other items or Add & Exit to be brought back to the previous screen.

Last step is to choose what SKU’s to map the Items. Enter your SKU # to the right. Click Submit to complete the rule.

SKU # is the seller-assigned item identity which can be used to locate a specific item and track its item inventory.

Batch Item Mapping

User can create multiple item mapping through a template file offline by going to Create New Mapping and clicking the Batch Item Mapping button. Press Download Template button and save the file to edit later.

Read the instruction & definition of each data field (at field definitions Tab) before working on the file.

Users complete required data of batch item mapping, and upload it back to Newegg Logistics portal by clicking browse. We use programming script to process the file, and user can view the status of each loaded item by looking at the Memo section.

e. BOM Item List

This is for client to create bundle SKU# sold as a set from different sales channels. A bundle SKU# represents either multiple pieces of the same SKU or multiple pieces of different SKUs. Even though Newegg doesn’t possess physical inventory of bundle SKU, the order with bundle SKU can be processed like normal SKU. (Refer to 5. How to create orders)

User can click Search button to find existing bundle SKUs, or click New BOM Item to create a new bundle SKU.

At step 1 of BOM item setup, Pack/Kit ID# & Description are both required fields. The former is what user like to name a bundle SKU, and the latter is the title of bundle product. UPC code is optional for bundle SKU. If a UPC for bundle SKU is input, an additional *BOM label with UPC barcode will be printed and applied to each bundle SKU. User can click Next button to proceed to step 2. [* Note: A surcharge is applied to each BOM label]

At this step 2, user can search an existing Item (i.e. by Seller Part#), and Add it as a component to the bundle SKU. User can change the Qty of each component from the list below if multiple pieces involved. User click Submit button to create a bundle SKU after all components added with associated piece count.

User can click Edit icon to view & update any existing bundle, or click Delete icon to delete it.
