What is an Alias SKU?
Alias SKUs in Zentail are SKUs that inherit their inventory from a pre-existing "Master" SKU in Zentail.

When should I create an Alias SKU?
  1. If you are trying to list the same product to multiple ASINs.
  2. If you want to market a product differently on the same or separate channels.
  3. If your Zentail catalog was built using Amazon-assigned SKU values that you do not want to use moving forward

How to create an Alias SKU in Bulk

  1. Create a template with the attributes: SKU and Alias of
  2. If you prefer, you can download (export) this template. Alternatively, you can create a CSV file with these headers
  3. In the SKU column make sure you include the SKU pertaining to the ALIAS - this is the SKU you want to inherit its inventory from the "inventory controlling sku"
  4. In the Alias of column you should include the "inventory controlling SKU" - this is the SKU that will be pushing its inventory to the Alias.
  5. Upload this CSV file using the template you created
Note that in order for this feature to be used, the inventory controlling sku must already EXIST in your catalog.
