Setting up your MSKU template for your Amazon Listings within Accelerlist

This guide explains how to create a custom MSKU template in AccelerList so your SKUs are automatically generated using your preferred format.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Step 1: Go to the MSKU Settings

  • Log in to AccelerList.

  • Click Settings from the left menu.

  • Select the MSKU tab.

  • Make sure the Amazon tab is selected.


Step 2: Enable Custom MSKU Templates

Find the setting “Would you like to use a default custom MSKU when listing?” and set it to Yes.


Step 3: Choose How MSKU Numbers Will Be Added

Under “How should AccelerList handle MSKU numbers?”, select how numbering should work.

Options include:

  • Add incremental numbers per batch (-001, -002, -003...)
    Numbers restart in each batch.

  • Add globally unique numbers across all batches
    Numbers continue increasing across all batches.

  • Don't add any numbers (use the MSKU Prefix directly)
    Only the template format will be used without extra numbering.


Step 4: Click “Add New Template”

Click the Add New Template button to begin creating your MSKU template.


Step 5: Choose a Name for Your Template

In the Create New MSKU Template window:

  1. Under Choose a Name, enter a name for your template.

  2. This helps you easily identify the template later.

Examples:

  • FBA Template

  • MF Template

  • Wholesale Template

After entering the name, click Next.


Step 6: Build Your MSKU Template Using Tags

You will now see the Choose SKU Template section.

This area contains unused tags that you can add to your template.

Examples of tags available:

  • ASIN

  • Source

  • Listed By

  • Condition

  • Salesrank

  • Warehouse Location

  • Buy Cost

  • Listing Date

  • Purchased Date

To add a tag:

  • Click the + icon beside the tag.

The selected tags will appear in the Generated MSKU Template section below.


Step 7: Add Custom Text (Optional)

If you want to add your own identifier:

  1. Type your text in the Custom Field Text box.

  2. Click Add.

Example:

  • Store initials

  • Batch identifiers

  • Category codes

Maximum allowed: 20 characters.


Step 8: Review the Generated MSKU Template

As you add tags, AccelerList will automatically build your MSKU format in the Generated MSKU Template section.

Example MSKU format:

JH-0326-VG-B000123456

Where:

  • JH = Custom prefix

  • 0326 = Purchase date

  • VG = Condition

  • B000123456 = ASIN


Step 9: Save the Template

Once you are satisfied with the format:

  • Click Save MSKU Template.

  • The template will now appear in your MSKU template list.


Step 10: Activate the Template

To use the template for your listings:

  • Click Use beside the template.

  • It will now appear as [Active Template].

AccelerList will now automatically generate MSKUs based on this format when listing items.
