Add your existing inventory into Workstand POS when items are not in the catalog or if you do not have a compatible POS.
Prep Non-Library Inventory for Upload
Overview
- Add your current inventory to your new Workstand POS using Purchase Orders.
- For adding items that aren't in our catalog, utilize the Bulk Product Upload tool.
Import Library Inventory
- To begin, navigate in Admin to Inventory > Purchase Orders.
- Create a Purchase Order for each category (e.g. Bikes) and scan each product's UPC to easily create an accurate list. We recommend going category by category to efficiently get all your products entered.
- Supplier, Dealer ID, and Ship to fields can be left empty for this process
- Ideas for POs include:
- Bikes
- Helmets
- Electronics
- On-Bike Accessories (bottle cages, kickstands, seat bags, etc.)
- Apparel
- Parts
- Breaking it down by sub-category will make this easier.
- Tires
- Tubes
- Etcetera
- Breaking it down by sub-category will make this easier.
- Make note of any UPCs that are not found when scanning UPCs (non-Library inventory).
- Use the template from the Bulk Product Upload tool to enter the UPC and fill in inventory and all relevant product data as you go.
- Once a Purchase Order you create accurately reflects your in-store inventory for our Library items, use “Mark all as received” to import the inventory.
Prep Non-Library Inventory for Upload
- Continue adding non-Library inventory to a Bulk Product Upload spreadsheet.
- You may find it easiest to do one spreadsheet for each category.
- Make sure that all fields are as complete as possible.
- Once all your non-library products are entered on the spreadsheet, save it and email it to your POS onboarding rep.
- You and your onboarding rep will work together to get the products uploaded and categorized.
- Once the products are categorized, we'll need up-to-date inventory information to attach to each product.
- This can be done by creating purchase orders or by file upload.
