Replenishing an existing MSKU

When adding an item, if you search the Amazon Catalog and select a listing you have previously added to your Unlisted Inventory, the option to replenish your existing MSKU(s) will appear.

Click Replenish next to an MSKU to add additional units to that listing in your Unlisted Inventory. For more information on this topic, see: Unlisted Inventory: Adding Multiple Buy Costs.

If the units you are adding are in a different condition than what you added previously, or you would just prefer to track them separately, click Create New MSKU to create a new listing.

Or, if you find that you selected the wrong listing, click Back to go back to the search results.

Assign an ASIN

One thing to keep in mind when adding items by entering details manually is that you will need to assign an ASIN to it before it can be listed for sale on Amazon or added to a batch in InventoryLab. If the item is not in Amazon's Product Catalog at all yet, you will need to add it in Seller Central by following these steps: Create a new product listing.

When you're ready to assign an ASIN to an item, locate it in your Unlisted Inventory and select Assign an ASIN.

A modal will appear where you can click in the search bar to pull up results from the Amazon Catalog by ASIN, UPC or Keyword. Enter these details and click Search.

  • Rank and Category

  • ASIN (clickable link that opens a new tab to the product page on Amazon.com)
