Catalog Attributes for Purchase Orders
Accurate catalog attributes are essential for avoiding errors in purchase orders. Proper setup at the vendor code level ensures quality and seamless ordering processes. Key attributes such as ASIN, IPIP, IPMP, cost price, vendor SKU, and external ID must be confirmed across Amazon systems.
- Items per Inner Pack (IPIP): Number of sellable units in a case, affecting purchase order case size. Misconfigurations can result in incorrect costs.
- Inner Packs per Master Pack (IPMP): Count of inner packs within a master pack, used when ASINs are sold with inner packs.
- Cost Price: Set at the sellable unit or case level, influencing procurement pricing.
- Vendor SKU: Unique identifier for products, similar to ASINs, facilitating purchase order transmissions.
- External ID: Unique product identifier like UPC or GTIN, crucial for differentiating between cases and individual units.
Accurate attributes minimize order cancellations, boost efficiency, and ensure seamless vendor operations.
