Importing your existing Listings into AMan Pro |
One of the first tasks to perform once you install AMan Pro is to import your existing listings. These are used both for order fulfillment and listing/pricing management.
Typically the process will take a few minutes to complete. However, if there are issues at Amazon or Amazon is being slow this can take an hour or longer to complete. If the report is taking a long time to complete, cancelling and reissuing the request is NOT recommended as this will further delay the generation of the report as the first report will need to complete before the 2nd report is generated.
While AMan does allow importing of old Open Listing Reports, this facility should NOT be used except under special circumstances. This is because importing old reports will cause AMan to not be synced up with your inventory on Amazon and could cause sold listings to be relisted (thereby causing you to have to issue refunds). A new report should normally always be generated.
An Open Listings Report may be generated and imported without visiting the Amazon web site by following these steps:
Click on to display the Amazon reports tasks
Click on to send a request for an open listing report to Amazon
The open listings report status dialog will appear:
AMan will automatically refresh the display every minute until the report has been generated. Typically this will take a few minutes to complete. However, if there are issues at Amazon or Amazon is being slow this can take an hour or longer to complete. If the report is taking a long time to complete, cancelling and reissuing the request is NOT recommend as this will further delay the generation of the report as the first report will need to complete before the 2nd report is generated.
The may be used to manually refresh the display. However, this will not speed up the generation of the report and is not recommended.
Once the report has been generated at Amazon and is ready for importing, the following dialog will appear:
(US users: Please note that the date and time is Pacific Time). This may take a few minutes.
Select the report just generated and click on to download and import into AMan Pro.
