Suggestion--Add A Verify Step to Adding Inventory

While browsing my store today, I clicked on the polar bear, and noticed that one of the suggested items that came up was the husky dog priced at $171. Well, I have the husky dogs, but they have not transfered to BO as the BL ID doesn't match yet. I probably thought about adding it clicked the add to inventory and changed my mind.

To me it is intuitive to click the add to inventory when I want to START the process, and then click a final submit button after I have verified price ect. I know a pop up shows up for a second saying lot successfully created but obviously I missed that. I tend to "play" around with things sometimes before committing to them. Now I'm wondering how many other lots I have accidentally created.

I was aware that a lot would automatically be created at one point, but as I don't add much through BO I forgot it again. In my mind, a lot should not be created until I have set quantity and price and then verified.

  • Ok, that was the only lot of its kind in my inventory. Thankfully!

    I would suggest having the default quantity start at zero and leave it as is.

    This way if something was created by accident it would not cause problems and could be found easily searching through 0 quantity items. (I would have the price at 0 too but that may be another thread)

    Adding a step I am mixed about, I see the benefit but also like the streamlined aspect of it when a solid routine is found adding things.


  • Good point, this would tend to slow you down when you are adding multiple lots to your inventory this way. I like your suggestion about having the price and quantity start at 0. Anything to keep these listings from going to the storefront. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has made this error, and this would help keep inventory accurate, and the price guide from having lots of wild cards.

  • I wouldn't want an extra confirmation step that would slow down most operations.

    Perhaps we could have a history of all changes though, which we could review to fix any mistake.
