Scheduled Tasks |
AMan Pro provides the ability to request and import Amazon order fulfillment reports on a schedule and to reprice and upload prices changes in your inventory. Additionally, AMan runs an internal task to obtain the listing ID for items uploaded to AMan using Listing a Single Item . These tasks may be configured in Configure->General Settings->Scheduled Tasks. When a task has been configured to run a will appear in the configuration section for that task.
Scheduled Amazon Order Fulfillment Reports Options
The options available are:
Import Order Fulfillment Every checkbox - If checked, AMan will schedule importing (and optionally requesting) of order fulfillment. To turn off this function, uncheck this box
Every X Hours - This is the interval that AMan will use for the process. It can be set at a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 24 hours in increments of 30 minutes.
Between X and Y - This can be used to specify times during the day that the process will run. For example if you normally do order fulfillment tasks between 2 and 5 PM, you may want to set this to 1PM and 5PM respectively.
Import X Minutes after Request - When a report is requested, Amazon takes some time to fulfill that request. This value is used to give AMan sufficient time to wait before trying to import orders.
Run in Desktop - This option tells AMan where to run the process and cannot be changed.
Display Message when processing - If checked (default) AMan will display a balloon notice from the systray when importing orders.
Request Reports - If checked, AMan will send report requests to Amazon twice during the interval specified above. If you have configured your Amazon seller account to schedule order reports, you should leave this unchecked. However you should normally always check this option.
Reset dates for auto-import - This is used to clear the dates of the last import done by AMan. This should only be used for diagnostic purposes.
Scheduled Pricing Options
The options for scheduled repricing are:
Auto Price every X minutes - This option allows you to specify the time frame that AMan Pro uses for its automatic pricing feature. The default (and minimum) value is 60 minutes. If you want AMan Pro to reprice once a day for you, you should set this value to 1440 (number of minutes in a 24 hour period).
Skip Auto Pricing if using List an Item - If checked, AMan Pro will suspend auto-repricing when the List an Item dialog is displayed. This is to prevent the auto-repricing process from deleting items in Pending Uploads if you are currently listing or modify inventory.
Skip Auto Pricing if Pending Uploads is being displayed - If checked, AMan Pro will suspend auto-repricing when Pending Uploads is being displayed. This is to prevent the auto-repricing process from deleting items in Pending Uploads if you are currently listing or modifying inventory.
ListingID Retrieval Task
This section allows entry of the parameters for the Listing ID retrieval task. This is required for AMan to obtain the Listing ID for newly listed items when using Listing a Single Item and the values should not be changed unless directed to by AMan support.
