The Add to Buy List Workflow in the ScoutIQ 2 Buy List

The Add to Buy List Workflow allows you to quickly record purchase details while sourcing, helping streamline your listing process later.
​

Begin by scanning as usual using your phone camera or Bluetooth scanner.
​

If you decide to purchase an item, tap the shopping cart button next to the red camera button.
​

​

This will open the Add to Buy List Workflow screen.
​
​

The workflow will automatically default to your most recently created Buy List.

If needed, you can switch lists:

This is especially useful if you are sourcing for multiple workflows (for example, MF and FBA during the same trip, since each Buy List should only be used for one fulfillment method if you plan to list in InventoryLab).

The Add to Buy List screen allows you to capture key purchase details at the time of sourcing.

Recording this information now helps reduce the amount of work required later when preparing items for listing.
