Action steps to take:

First, Check Product Lifecycle Status.  

• If non-stock or promotion, take no action. These are products that are “one and done” meaning we will not continue to stock them.
• If new, check the location to make sure it’s a domestic shipping location. If so, move forward with reaching out to divisional VP or the appropriate Business Manager and ask if the item should be:
  • Should the sku(s) be added to the direct fulfillment eligible list (if the inner carton is one) and if so, what is the drop ship price and fees?
  •  Should the sku(s) be added to any of the internal Advantus websites?
  •  Should the skus(s) be added to Amazon Vendor Central or Seller Central? Walmart Marketplace?
  •  Then follow the New product Checklist: https://advantus-wiki.azurewebsites.net/knowledge-base/new-or-change-in-product-checklist/
