How to Use the Purge Feature for SBYB
The purge feature allows you to submit a set of SKUs to be analyzed for Sell Back Your Book results. Once reviewed, the system will close all SKUs submitted so you can go about purging them. The items that had SBYB results will be automatically added to your SBYB shipment.
Run and download the report you would like to use
The SBYB Purge feature can use any report that has a SKU column. Active inventory, Active inventory v2, Dead inventory, and more can all be used to look for SBYB results. When submitting SKUs, only child copies will be accepted.
Submitting the Report or List for Purging
In this part of the process, you will submit either a report or a list of SKUs in feed or report formatting. This means that there must be a column header that says "SKU" with child SKUs under it. When you are ready to submit items to be scanned for SBYB results and closed, read the following steps below.
