   To find specific items, click the GTIN or Quote ID Search bar and enter the GTINs or Quote IDs. If you enter multiple GTINs, remember to select GTIN under ID Type.

   

   Or, click the Filter icon to find new items by the Supplier / Seller Name or ID, Department, Fineline, or Submission Date(s). When you've made all of your selections, click the Apply button.

   Shipper Content items and standalone items cannot be set up at the same time.

   1. Select the Fulfillment Method from the drop-down menu: Ship to Walmart FC, DC, or Store or Direct Store Delivery. (Online fulfillment methods are not available because shippers are for stores only).
   2. Select the Product Type that best describes each shipper Content item you are setting up.
   3. The Consumable GTINs are pre-populated and cannot be edited.
3. Click the Download button. Open and complete the spreadsheet to finish setup of the shipper Content items. Values that appear in dark gray cells should not be edited.

   

   Refer to the Data Definitions tab (if available) for attribute definitions and requirements. If your spreadsheet does not have a Data Definitions tab, refer to Row 6 below the attribute names. For more details, read Understanding the Item Setup Spreadsheet. You can submit a partially completed spreadsheet and provide missing required info later in the Activity Manager.
   If you have selected a Spec Product Type and the drop-down menus under the attribute sections aren't working: Consider updating your version of Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Office 365 or later.

   GTIN validations make sure the GTINs you provide are in the correct format, are NOT existing catalog items/assortments, belong to the supplier if GDSN synced, etc.

4. The shipper creation page is organized into Prime and Content item sections.

   

   1. If the Content items have successfully been created, their Walmart Item Numbers automatically appear here.
