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
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:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| 新建 (New) | Create a single SKU |
| 提交 (Submit) | Submit a draft |
| 导入 (Import) | Bulk-create from Excel |
| 打印条码 | Print product barcode labels |
| 设置预警 | Set a low-stock alert threshold |
| 废弃 (Discard) | Retire a SKU — there is no delete |
| 导出 | Export the current filtered view |
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.
Step 2: Create a single SKU
Click 新建 (New). There are 12 required fields (length, width and height count separately):
| Field | Required | How 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 / description | For searching and grouping | |
| Other barcode / FNSKU | FNSKU for FBA shipments | |
| HS code | Smooths customs clearance | |
| Product information link | Product 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.
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 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 only | Power banks, bare cells |
| Liquid / paste / powder | Common for cosmetics and toiletries |
| Magnetic | Anything containing magnets |
Then click 提交 (Submit), or 保存草稿 (Save draft) to come back to it later.
Step 3: Bulk import
For larger catalogues, use 导入 (Import) on the list page.
- Click 导入 → 下载导入模板 (download template) (
Product_Import.xlsx) - Fill in the 货品信息 sheet, one SKU per row
- Upload
The template has 28 columns. Beyond the fields on the create form:
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Primary / secondary / tertiary category | Three-level classification; see the 产品分类 sheet |
| Length / width / height / weight / unit | Split into separate columns; the unit column picks metric or imperial |
| Currency | For the declared price |
| Country code of origin | The two-letter code (e.g. JP); see the 国家或地区简码 sheet |
| Dangerous goods type | One of the eight options above |
| Packaging required / code / name | When the warehouse packs on your behalf |
| Warehouse code | Which warehouse this SKU belongs to |
| Product image link | Images go in as URLs, not file uploads |
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.Next
Once your SKUs are in place:
- Goods heading to the warehouse → Inbound orders
- Stock already there, shipping to buyers → Parcel outbound orders
