Overview
Zentail simplifies your ability to manage your FBA and FBM Amazon SKUs by merging them in Zentail. This creates a +MF+ version in Seller Central for SKUs that start as FBA but are then sold as FBM. Zentail will never send a +MF+ SKU into ShipStation or any other supported 3rd party integration.
For example; when you have FBA and FBM inventory for SKU ABC in Zentail, Zentail sends a SKU ABC+MF+ into Seller Central as an FBM SKU. The reason we do this is because Amazon requires your FBA and FBM SKUs to be of different values and we want Zentail users to be able to manage as 1 SKU in Zentail.
To recap:
- In Zentail you will never see a +MF+ version of a SKU.
- You will only see +MF+ SKUs in Seller Central.
- This convention allows you to manage FBA and FBM inventory in one central view in Zentail -- no dealing with two different SKUs for the same exact product.
- This allows you to easily list FBA and FBM to the same ASIN simultaneously.
- This allows you to make all of your inventory available on your channels and avoid a channel rejecting or not listing duplicate SKUs that share the same UPC or unique identifier.
- This allows us to provide you with simplified reporting and analytics.
- The only limitation is that you cannot use separate pricing for FBA and FBM once you merge them in Zentail.
- We never send +MF+ SKUs to any other channel or 3rd party that we're integrated with (i.e. Jet, eBay, Walmart, SkuVault, ShipStation).
- If you use a 3rd party service that we don't offer an integration for which pulls data from Amazon Seller Central, then your +MF+ SKU will appear in that service.
