![]() So my second item would have a MSKU of _002 and then _003, and so on. As I add more items to my batch, Inventory Lab automatically sets the MSKU to be sequential after the first one. So if I’m creating a batch on 01-23-19, then I would set up the first item to have an MSKU of _001. Previously when creating a batch to send to Amazon, I would just use that day’s date as the MSKU. Each item within a seller’s inventory must have a valid and individualized MSKU. An MSKU is an acronym for Merchant Stock Keeping Unit, and it is one of the ways that Amazon helps sellers keep track of their inventory. When I’m listing my items on Amazon via InventoryLab, I’m now able to create my own custom MSKUs that can include some valuable information to be used at a later time. This one is so clever, and I’ve only just recently learned about this function, but it could potentially save you lots of time. We have charged you the appropriate prep fee for this service.” With this Inventory Lab feature, I can avoid annoying and excessive prep fees from Amazon, as well as the worry that my seller performance will be dinged because I didn’t prep my items correctly. I’m glad to know that I can avoid those dreaded emails from Amazon saying, “You were supposed to poly bag this item, and we had to bag it for you. As I’m processing in Inventory Lab, I can see right there on that product’s listing whether it needs poly bagging, bubble wrapping, etc. Sometimes it’s obvious what type of prep an item will need, while other times I am not so sure. Seeing the prep information for my items as I’m listing in Inventory Lab. ![]() It’s a super quick way to list all the inventory I’ve purchased in a day and not have to enter in all the information an additional time.ģ. I can go out for several hours of RA sourcing, compile all my purchases for the day, and then when I’m finished sourcing I just email the buy list file to myself so I can upload it to Inventory Lab on my laptop. I just update it once each time I enter a new RA store name for my supplier. The cool thing is that the supplier name and condition stay the same until I decide to change it, so I don’t have to enter it in each time I add a new item to my buy list. I can also choose the supplier name (usually, the store I’m sourcing at), the condition of the item, and enter in the expiration date (if necessary). With the buy list feature on Scoutify, I scan inventory while doing RA, click the green “Add” button, enter the price I’m paying for it, the price I want to sell it for, and then click “Add to Buy List.” This is seriously one of the best features of Inventory Lab, and honestly I would hate to go back to listing my retail arbitrage (RA) inventory without this feature. Maybe some people think Scoutify is an additional charge, but it’s actually included in the cost of Inventory Lab. It always surprises me to hear of people who have Inventory Lab, but are not using the Scoutify sourcing app yet. This feature usually saves me 30 to 60 minutes per inventory batch (depending on the number of items in the shipment).Ģ. Uploading inventory from Scoutify to Inventory Lab using the Buy List. It’s so much easier with Inventory Lab – I just list, print, and label the item. I don’t have to mess with 30-up pages of labels and sort through a stack of inventory to get my items labeled at the end of the listing process. Right as I list an item in my FBA inventory using Inventory Lab, the label is printed on my DYMO label printer, and I’m able to attach the label to my inventory item immediately. So here they are, my top 5 favorite features of Inventory Lab:ġ. Being able to print out my product labels as I list. That may sound like an easy task, but for me it was sooooo hard to narrow it down to just 5 features!

Recently, someone asked me to name the top 5 features of Inventory Lab that can both save the user more time and make the user more profits. I also love using the Scoutify app for sourcing inventory through retail arbitrage. ![]() Anybody who follows my blog on a regular basis knows how much I love Inventory Lab for processing, listing, and tracking my Amazon FBA inventory. ![]()
