Physical Attributes

The following table outlines all the attributes that can be set for products when the Physical fulfillment method is used.

UPC

The Universal Product Code (UPC) is a bar code that is printed on many retail products. A UPC contains the vendor's identification number as well as the product number.

Product Fulfillers

Lists the fulfillers you can use with the product. When you select a fulfiller, additional information appears that you can select or define for that fulfiller. You can select multiple fulfillers but you will be required to enter a Part Number of each fulfiller.

If you have only one fulfiller, that fulfiller is automatically selected in this area and that selection cannot be cleared.

If any selected product fulfillers have more than one inventory location, you must select the inventory location(s) from which orders for the product will be fulfilled and enter the proper Part Number for each of the selected inventory locations.

If you are doing your own fulfillment and have only one or no inventory location (warehouse), you do not need to enter fulfiller information. The Product Fulfiller will be automatically set to your company and the Part Number will be automatically set to the product's SKU.

Locations – Lists the fulfillment locations (or centers) that can be used for the product. At least one inventory location must be selected for each fulfiller.

Part Number – The code used by the fulfiller to identify the product. When you select a fulfiller, you must enter the Part Number for the product.

Managed Inventory Settings – The Managed Inventory Settings link appears once you have set up the physical fulfillers for your products. When you click this link you can set the number of a particular product you have in stock and control sales based on that number. You can also allow or disallow backorders on a managed product. For more, see the information in About the Physical Fulfillment Option about managing physical inventory.
