This screen also allows you to create customised filters that are executed on any built-in data point, which will not only eliminate results that simply aren’t worth investigating, but also speed up your runs by throwing out garbage results as early as possible, and not even bothering to download data for them when it’s no longer needed anyway.

Hazmat/Shipment Restriction Check Disclaimer
The Hazmat and Shipment Restricions columns will only show data if you agree to this disclaimer.
All analysed ASINs will need to be automatically added to your FBA inventory, with a 0 stock and no listing/offers or incoming shipments. Each will carry the prefix “PC2_” to make these easy to identify. In most cases this should not cause any issues, but if you do, the FBA Item Archiver tool can be used to archive these ASINsorder in which sales ranks are considered to create sales estimates. The first available rank is used to produce the default “Est. Sales / Month” figure, which also feeds into “Est. Share of Sales” and “Est. Share of Revenue”. The special STOP entry allows you to prevent certain ranks from being considered. Only those above this entry will be used, the ones below are ignored. | |
Packaging Overrides | Since 3.0.10 Allows you to specify packaging to override “
Rules: Marketplace IDs are optional. If not specified, the override will apply to all supported markets. Otherwise specify one or more, also separated by comma, for targeted override. Later rules can augment earlier ones. For example:
Diagnostics: When an override is triggered, the “Diagnostics” column will contain an entry showing both the original and the replacement value. This will allow you to adapt your override rules, for example where the Amazon catalog information has been updated. |

Allows you to create a biased score per product, assigning arbitrary points to the value of arbitrary built-in data points. This will speed up your analysis by prioritising promising products, and is much more powerful than the simple black & white approach used in Filters. However, you can also filter on the score itself!
