Amazon Identifies The Barcode Distribution Process And Tracks Inventory.

The media learned that

The seller can use the existing manufacturer's barcode (including GCID, UPC, EAN, JAN or ISBN) on eligible goods to identify and track inventory in the Amazon distribution process.

When a new product is created, if the inventory can not be tracked by the manufacturer's barcode, the seller will receive a reminder.

This means that sellers do not need to label each product again, thereby saving time and money.

In the shipment received between October 3rd and December 31st, the seller can save an additional $0.08 in the cost of picking up and packaging for each item shipped to the Amazon operation center using the manufacturer's barcode. The cost savings will be shown in the seller's payment report in January 2017.

The goods must meet the following requirements in order to participate in the preferential activities.

• the first use of manufacturer's bar code to track SKU (newly created goods or just converted to "

Commodities "

Must be new products.

• single scan bar code corresponding to individual ASIN in Amazon catalog

No expired

• not belonging to consumer goods or local external commodities, such as skin cream, shampoo or cosmetics.

• pported to Amazon operation center from October 3, 2016 to December 31st.

Sellers can choose to make use when creating new products.

It can also be changed to the use of manufacturer's barcode when the goods are changed from the seller's own distribution to the Amazon distribution.

For goods that have been set up for Amazon distribution and do not use manufacturers' barcode tracking, create new products and choose manufacturer barcode options.

To set the manufacturer's bar code as the default barcode option for all new products, the seller can refer to the following operation:

1. click on Amazon logistics under the setting of seller account.

2. find Amazon's logistics barcode preferences, then click Edit.

3. select the manufacturer's barcode and click save.

Important note: after changing the inventory settings, the changes will only apply to new products created after their entry into force.

Please wait for 24 hours to ensure that the changes are fully processed, and then create new products for eligible inventory.

However, it is worth noting that Amazon has the right to decide to terminate the offer from October 3, 2016 to December 31st.

According to media reports, when the manufacturer's bar code is set as the default bar code preference, Amazon can send the goods nearest to the buyer to the buyer when the buyer buys goods from the seller, even if the seller does not send the goods to the relevant operation center.

The seller will receive the sales payment, and Amazon will pfer the corresponding merchandise from the seller's inventory to the seller whose inventory is used to process the order.

Amazon said it would track every item of goods received, so Amazon could quickly determine which seller sent it when there was any problem.

If the buyer takes corresponding measures due to the quality of the goods, the affected account will be the account corresponding to the seller who sent the goods to the operation center, and the seller who receives the sales will not be affected.
