How do I save my existing listings as Inventory in Selling Manager Pro?
To create inventory templates from your currently active listings, go into the "Active" view of Selling Manager Pro and click the white check box to the left of each listing that you want to save as Inventory. With this done, click "Save to Inventory." Note that the maximum number of items you can save to Inventory at one time is 20, as that is the maximum number of listing templates that can be within a single Product template.
In the Product Inventory view, what are the differences between Folders, Product Templates and Listing Templates?
The top level of your Selling Manager Pro Inventory is the folder. A folder can contain sub-folders, and each of the folders contains products and can be managed from the Inventory View page.
A product is a data record for the item you are selling. The record has several pieces of information, such as:
- Item name (buyers don't see this, so you can use any name you want)
- Quantity available of this item
- Average cost of the item
- Custom label (this can be used to add a SKU number, location, or any other helpful information)
Product Inventory doesn't include all the information needed to create a listing, so you can either create a listing in the Sell Your Item form, and then save it as a listing template for future use, or re-use an existing listing template.
The listing template includes the title, item description, pictures, and other information needed for your listing. You can use this template over and over, and you can create up to 20 listing templates for a single product. Whenever you list an item with any of those templates, Selling Manager Pro knows the listing is for that particular product and automatically reduces the amount in the "Quantity Available to List" field.

There are two ways to go about setting up automation rules. You can set them up from the Inventory view or from the Active view.

- Assign the settings for this rule and click the "Assign" button.
How do I tell if my automation rules are set up correctly?

You will also be able to see the automation rule name in the "End Date" column of the Unsold view. No automation rule notations are visible in the "Sold" view.
