New SKU Creation SOP

Purpose:
 This document explains how to create new SKUs in Sellercloud, configure product details, enable/disable channels, and set up vendor and kitting information.

1. SKU Creation

1. In Sellercloud, navigate to Catalog → Add New Product.
2. Select Create individual product manually at the top.
3. Fill out the required fields:

4. Click Create Product.
5. A green confirmation message will appear at the bottom with a link to the new SKU.
   • You can create multiple SKUs during one session. They will display next to Products Created.
   • Note: This list clears if you refresh or navigate away.
6. Click the product link to open the new SKU.

2. Enable or Disable Channels

By default, new products are enabled for all channels tied to their company, though they are not automatically pushed live.

To keep things organized, disable channels where the product will not be sold.

1. On the Product screen, locate the channel icons below the product title (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Website).
2. For each channel to disable:
   1. Click the channel icon.
   2. Click Edit (top right).
   3. In the blue General section, uncheck Enabled.
   4. Click Save.
3. Repeat for each channel as needed.

Examples:

• If a product will be sold only on Amazon, disable all other channels.
• If it’s a kit component not sold individually, disable it on all channels including Amazon.

3. Mark as Expirable (If Applicable)

1. Go to the Home tab of the product.
2. In the blue Details section, check Expirable if applicable.
3. Click Save.

⚠️ Important:
 Be sure to mark all food or consumable products as Expirable to ensure proper lot and expiration tracking.

4. Confirm Purchasing Information

1. On the product screen, in the green Purchasing section, confirm the following fields are accurate:
   • Default Vendor(all products)
   • Vendor SKU(simples/components)
   • Site Cost(simples/components)
   • Qty Per Case(simples/components)
2. These values are not used directly for Purchase Orders but are vital for:
   • Accounting calculations
   • Warehouse-facing data
   • Custom integrations and automations

5. Set Up Vendor SKU (Simples/Components Only)

1. Go to Purchasing → Vendors → Manage Vendors.
2. Select the correct vendor.
3. Open the Products tab.
4. Locate the SKU you just created.
5. Click the pencil icon (top right of green bar) to edit.
6. Verify the following:
   • SKU
   • Vendor SKU
   • Price (Site Cost)
   • Case Price (Case Cost)
   • Qty/Case
7. Click the check mark (top right) to save changes.

6. Configure Kitting Information (Kits Only)

1. Return to the product.
2. Open the Kit tab (found in the Toolbox if not favorited).
3. Click Edit in the top right.
4. Under the Components section, click the + (plus) icon to add components.
5. Search for the component SKU(s).
6. Check the box next to each component to include.
7. Click Add Selected or Add & Close when finished.
8. Set the Qty in Kit for each component.
9. Set Inventory Dependency On:
   • Independent – Use this for any product that might be sold via FBA or WFS.
     • (Changing this later is difficult and can cause inventory sync issues.)
   • All Components – Use this for products that will always be FBM (e.g., TikTok, Target, Shopify).
     • (Simplifies warehouse picking and maintains accurate inventory levels on those marketplaces.)
10. Click Save.

✅ Final Checklist

Before marking the SKU complete:

•  Product information verified
•  Channels enabled/disabled correctly
•  Expirable flag set if applicable
•  Vendor information confirmed
•  Kit components configured (if applicable)
