After starting a batch, you can search for items to add from the Amazon Catalog.
If you don't already have your batch open, click on the Open Batch you want to add the item to on the left side of the screen.
With the search bar selected, scan the item's barcode or enter its ASIN, Title, or UPC. You can also just search for a keyword.
The search results will appear on the screen with the channel (UNLISTED, MFN, FBA, or AMZ CATALOG) displayed next to the item. Any result with UNLISTED, MFN, or FBA set as the channel is already part of your Inventory. Any result with AMZ CATALOG as the channel is an Amazon catalog result.
The items on the list from a product search show the following information:
Product Title
ASIN
Category
Rank
Number of Offers
Product Alerts (when applicable):
The Restricted Product Alert will display if it is turned on in Settings.
The Hazmat Product Alert will display if Amazon categorizes an item as dangerous goods.
The Expiration Date Product Alert will display if the item requires an expiration date.
The screenshot below shows a Restricted Product Alert on top and a Hazmat Product Alert below.
The next screenshot shows another Restricted Item alert along with an Expiration Date alert below that.
On FBA, MFN, and UNLISTED results, you will also be notified how many MSKUs you have matching the ASIN in your Inventory.
Click the arrow on the right side next to the item to view product research info and enter your Purchase Information and Product Information.
Note: If the MSKU is already in your inventory, you will be asked if you want to replenish the item first. For more details, see How to Replenish an Existing MSKU.
