Product records (SKU) ​

Overseas warehouses receive and ship by SKU, so every product you plan to send in must exist in OMS first. Without a SKU you can't pick the product in an inbound order's packing table, and you can't create an outbound order at all. This is the foundation of everything else.

The flow ​

submit

save draft

submit

no longer used

when review is triggered

approved

rejected

fix and resubmit

Create one, or bulk import

Approved — usable for shipping

Drafts

Discarded

Reviewing

Rejected

Note Submitting takes the product straight to Approved — it's usable immediately. The list has Reviewing and Rejected tabs, but products don't normally pass through them.

Step 1: Open the product page ​

Left menu: 产品管理 (Product management) → 产品 (Products). The tabs across the top are the statuses: All / Drafts / Reviewing / Approved / Rejected / Discarded.

Toolbar buttons:

ButtonWhat it does
新建 (New)Create a single SKU
提交 (Submit)Submit a draft
导入 (Import)Bulk-create from Excel

Two sets of dimensions and weight

The list shows wms dimensions/weight and OMS dimensions/weight. The OMS values are what you entered; the wms ones are what the warehouse measured. When they differ materially, billing follows the warehouse's measurements. Toggle metric / imperial at the top right.

Note Dimensions and weight are required, and all three of length, width and height must be filled in. Their required marker sits on the section heading rather than the fields, which makes it easy to miss — leave them empty and the submit is rejected with "cannot be empty".

Step 2: Create a single SKU ​

Click 新建 (New). There are 12 required fields (length, width and height count separately):

FieldRequiredHow to fill it in
Product name✳︎The name you and the warehouse use
SKU✳︎Cannot be changed after creation — decide carefully
Product barcode (EAN/UPC)✳︎Must match the barcode on the physical product — the warehouse scans it on receipt
Dimensions (L / W / H)✳︎All three; unit system toggles at the top right
Weight✳︎Same
Declared Chinese name✳︎For customs
Declared English name✳︎For customs
Declared price✳︎Declared customs value
Country of origin✳︎Dropdown; Japan (JP) for Japanese goods
Dangerous goods type✳︎Dropdown, eight options — see below
Alias / category / descriptionFor searching and grouping
Other barcode / FNSKUFNSKU for FBA shipments
HS codeSmooths customs clearance
Product information linkProduct page URL, for the warehouse to check against

Get the dangerous goods type right ​

This determines whether the item can fly and which channels accept it. Get it wrong and the carrier refuses the parcel at outbound time.

OptionMeaning
普货 (general cargo, non-hazardous)The common case
Built-in battery (non-removable)Phones, wireless earbuds
Packed-with battery (removable)Appliances with a separate battery
Battery onlyPower banks, bare cells
Liquid / paste / powderCommon for cosmetics and toiletries
MagneticAnything containing magnets
Important Never change the code of a SKU the warehouse has already received, or stock stops reconciling. The same goes for the product barcode — it's what the warehouse scans.

Then click 提交 (Submit), or 保存草稿 (Save draft) to come back to it later.

▶Creating a single SKU

Step 3: Bulk import ​

For larger catalogues, use 导入 (Import) on the list page.

  1. Click 导入 → 下载导入模板 (download template) (Product_Import.xlsx)
  2. Fill in the 货品信息 sheet, one SKU per row
  3. Upload

The template has 28 columns. Beyond the fields on the create form:

ColumnNotes
Primary / secondary / tertiary categoryThree-level classification; see the 产品分类 sheet
Length / width / height / weight / unitSplit into separate columns; the unit column picks metric or imperial
CurrencyFor the declared price
Country code of originThe two-letter code (e.g. JP); see the 国家或地区简码 sheet
Dangerous goods typeOne of the eight options above
Packaging required / code / nameWhen the warehouse packs on your behalf
Warehouse codeWhich warehouse this SKU belongs to
Product image linkImages go in as URLs, not file uploads
Note The limits match the outbound import: xlsx only (renaming the extension doesn't work) and 5000 rows per upload. The template ships with dictionary sheets — use them for the code columns.
▶Bulk-importing products

Step 4: Check the status ​

After submitting, the product goes straight to Approved and can be used for inbound and outbound orders right away.

Note Products can't be deleted, only discarded. Select a mistaken or retired SKU and click 废弃 (Discard); it moves to the Discarded tab and disappears from the pickers used when shipping.
