How to Set Up the Vendor Central Catalog

App path -> Setup → Vendor Central Catalog

What the Vendor Central Catalog Is For

Your emax digital Vendor Catalog is where you see all the products from your Vendor Central account and where you enrich them with the information that powers the Vendor Hub. The more complete your catalog, the more you can do across dashboards — category and subcategory analysis, tagging, and price benchmarking all depend on the inputs you maintain here.

Search and Filter Options

  • Search bar — find single products or ASINs quickly. You can search by ASIN, EAN, or product title.

  • Filters — filter by marketplace and category.

  • Columns — choose which columns to display by ticking the checkbox, and reorder columns by dragging and dropping.

Column Types

Vendor Central columns

Information pulled directly from Amazon Vendor Central. These are not editable in the tool.

Custom columns

Information you fill in and customise to your needs. We strongly recommend completing these:

  • Additional Parent ASIN — ideal for storing your internal model number and tracking broken variations.

  • Categories, Subcategories, Tags — drive the category/subcategory/tag filters across the Vendor Hub.

  • Fixed and variable costs per unit — needed to see your company margin in sell-in dashboards.

  • RRP (Recommended Retail Price) — lets you compare the current Amazon price against your RRP.

Only designate an ASIN as "ignored" if the ASIN and its historical data are entirely irrelevant. To exclude products from specific dashboards without losing history, tag the ASINs as "inactive" instead.
