This tool provides an extended report of online book inventory (sales/deliveries), and can be based on individual Stores, Store Groups and Group Lists, and SBT Item Groups. Use this report to see how well items are selling, and if additional deliveries should be made.
Scan based trading (SBT) item groups provide an easy way to base your reports and settlements on "types" of items rather than individual items. Items of a type are grouped and given a group name based on your business needs.. SBT Item Groups are set up by the supplier.
viaLink provides the ability to group a set of stores for use in Extended Book Inventory reporting. For example, stores x, y, and z, located in the northern U.S., can be grouped as the "North Region." Stores d, e, and f in Dallas, TX can be grouped as "Dallas Stores."
Groups are named to fit your needs, are assembled into a list of groups, and can include almost any viaLink scan based trading (SBT) store with whom you are matched. Store Groups and Store Group Lists are set up by the supplier.
