Bulk Cost Update Entry Point
The Update Product Cost action allows users to move from the Amazon Catalog to the cost management workflow.
It acts as a shortcut to update cost data for selected products.
The Big Picture
The Catalog page is where products are identified.The cost module is where product costs are managed.
The Update Product Cost action connects these two workflows.
What the Update Product Cost Button Does
The Update Product Cost button is activated after selecting one or more products in the Amazon Catalog.
When clicked:
- the selected products are passed to the cost management module
- the system opens the cost update interface
- users can assign or modify cost values for those products
This allows users to move directly from product selection to cost management.
Selection Behavior
The action works based on selected items.
Users can:
- select a single product
- select multiple products
- select all visible products
Only the selected products are included in the cost update workflow.
Redirect to Cost Module
After clicking Update Product Cost:
- EVA redirects the user to the cost management section
- the selected products are pre-loaded in that view
- users can immediately begin updating cost values
This removes the need to manually search for products again in the cost module.
The Logic
The Catalog page acts as the selection layer, while the cost module acts as the execution layer.
The system:
- captures selected products in the catalog
- transfers them to the cost module
- opens the cost interface with those products pre-filtered
This creates a seamless transition between product identification and cost management.
Why This Matters
Without this entry point:
- users would need to switch modules manually
- products would need to be searched again
- workflows would be slower and repetitive
With this system:
- cost updates can be initiated directly from the catalog
- selected products are carried into the next step
- workflows become faster and more efficient
Key Value Pillars
Workflow continuity
Users move from catalog to cost management without interruption.
Time efficiency
No need to re-search products in another module.
Targeted updates
Only selected products are included in the update process.
Pro Insight
Use filters before selecting products, then apply Update Product Cost to update cost values for a specific product group instead of the entire catalog.
