ChannelMAX UPC/ASIN/EAN Bulk Search Using File Upload

Bulk Search using the 'Bulk Search from File' tab:

Now we have an enhanced method to perform this search under UPC Search using the 'Bulk Search from File' tab. This process runs on background and you need not keep the web screen open to complete this search. Once you upload any of the search files, such as ASIN/UPC/Keyword, the process will run in the background, and once completed, the resultant file link will be generated under the 'Output' column with the Report link. You would also get a copy of this result file to your email address saved in your account under Settings> Account Info page with the link such as http://www.repricer.net/WebSearch/users/loginname/301/loginname-search-out-201504141532.zip
Below are the steps to process the files;
1. Click on 'Amazon Search' under the "Research" menu on the left-hand side of your ChannelMAX screen.
2. Click on the "Bulk Search from File" tab
3. Now choose the selling venue and from the drop-down list 'Sites'
4. Now click on "Upload" for the desired search type and choose the search file from your computer which is created as a .zip file.

6. Once the search is complete you will see the time stamp under the "EndTime" column.
7. Click on "Report" under 'Output' column to download the resultant file.

When this search file is prepared, please make a note of the following points:

1. The first column(Column A) in the file should be SKU and the second column (Column B) should be UPC or ASIN or Keyword.
2. Each of the file names that you upload should be in the format {loginname}-{type}-search.zip.(if the login name is demo001 and for ASIN search, the file name should be demo001-asin-search.zip)
3. After creating the files as above, the file should be saved in tab-delimited text format and then zipped before uploading the file to ChannelMAX as per point#3 provided above.

4. Once the file is processed, the resultant file is emailed to your ID stored in ChannelMAX under the 'Settings-->Account Info' page and you can open this file as shown in this link.

2) SKU and ASIN columns for ASIN Search, SKU and EAN for EAN Search, SKU and Keyword for Keyword search.
3) File naming should be as follows:
[channelmaxloginname]_upc.txt for UPC Search UPC Search Template
[channelmaxloginname]_asin.txt for ASIN Search ASIN Search Template 
[channelmaxloginname]_ean.txt for EAN Search EAN Search Template
[channelmaxloginname]_keywordsearch.txt for Keyword Search Keyword Search format

Step-4
Put this file in your FTP location, not in any sub-directory.

Step-5
At the same level where the file in step 3 is uploaded, two folders should be created:
