If you have a catalog of ASINs that ship in multiple boxes, there are three different ways to add this configuration.
To add multi-box configuration in bulk:
- Select “Direct Fulfillment Inventory” from the Drop-Down Menu of the “Items” tab on the top menu of Vendor Central.
- Click the “Update with a spreadsheet” button.
- Download the multi-box file (for one warehouse or all of them) and open in Excel.
- Insert a new row for every ASIN that needs an additional box.
- Note: For all additional boxes, make sure all the information is paired correctly when you insert ASIN information. Each ASIN must be specified by each warehouse, along with the new dimensions of each additional box.
- Ensure that you save the file in .csv format only and do not change the pre-selected language when you upload the file.
- Click the “Update with a spreadsheet” and drag the updated .csv in and click “Submit changes”.
To add multi-box configuration for a single ASIN:
- Select “Direct Fulfillment Inventory” from the Drop-Down Menu of the “Items” tab on the top menu of Vendor Central.
- Click the name of the product, which will lead to a new page where you can click “Edit”.
- Edit the existing configuration and click “Add additional box”.
- Add the Width x Length x Height and Weight information for each box.
- Check “Apply multi-box configuration to all warehouses”, if applicable.
- Click “Save” to finish the multi-box configuration for a particular warehouse, or “Save all updates” to save changes for all direct fulfillment warehouses.
To add multi-box configuration on an order level:
- Select “Direct Fulfillment Orders” from the Drop-Down Menu of the “Orders” tab on the top menu of Vendor Central.
- Click “Order details” and then the “Edit”.
- Click “Add additional box”.
- Add the Width x Length x Height and Weight information for each box.
- Click “Save” to the finish multi-box configuration.
- If you would like to save for this ASIN, you will have the option to use this configuration for all future orders.
- Note: The ASIN configuration change will not add boxes to any current orders. All future POs will have the newly added configuration.
- The box in the above context is a shipping unit (e.g., if you're going to ship an item that has multiple boxes but will ship as one single pallet).
- 1 shipping unit = 1 box configuration
- 2 shipping units = 2 box configurations
- 1 pallet = 1 shipping unit = 1 box configuration of the pallet
- 2 pallets of the same order = 1 shipping unit = 1 box configuration (print the same label twice.
