RestockPro users have been asking for a more streamlined way to customize their shipment prep pick lists, and we've delivered. Merchants now have the ability to create more customized pick lists that are clear and easy to use.
In this post, we'll take a closer look at how pick lists are used and show you how you can create your own customized list in RestockPro.
Pick List 101
Amazon specifies the number of units in each shipment for FBA sellers. The number of items per shipment can vary by the fulfillment centers Amazon has specified as destinations. FBA sellers can get this list from Seller Central or by creating a shipment in RestockPro.
The pick list shows all of the items in each shipment. “Pickers” gather and prepare the units so that they can be organized into cartons for shipping to the Amazon fulfillment centers. Pick lists generated in RestockPro can also easily be shared with logistics providers.
Provide a Clear Pick List
Sending the wrong amount of items to an FBA warehouse can be disastrous. At the very least, it will delay stock availability. Mis-shipments and those that contain damaged items or more items than listed can be rejected at the fulfillment center dock. No Return Authorization Requests will be created for these shipments. If shipments are refused, sellers must pay to have them returned.
It’s essential to provide clear instructions to ensure that inventory is managed correctly before being shipped. This is true whether products are shipped to the FBA warehouses directly from the supplier/manufacturer or prepared by merchants from local inventory.
Preparing an Amazon Pick List in RestockPro
The pick list grid in RestockPro allows users to print out shipment pick lists. The user interface includes built-in capabilities that make it easy to show and hide columns, as needed. Just click the icon in the upper right corner of the grid to choose which fields you want to be displayed on their Amazon pick list. Click on a column header to re-sort the list before printing. Once it looks right, click print to generate your clear and easy-to-read pick list. Your settings will all be saved; so the next time you go to print a pick list, RestockPro will automatically create it the way you want.
The pick list provides a clear and user-friendly printout, making it easier to manage shipment prep.
