Common issues and next actions

If this happens	What to do next
You are not sure which action to choose.	Use Create a receiving when the job is about receiving inventory. Use Manage Bundles when the job is about bundle details. Use Add an item only when you need to create or complete item information.
The add-item form asks for fields you do not know.	Pause before saving. Gather the product, customs, vendor, cycle count, packaging, and fulfillment details your team owns.
Bundle Manager is empty.	Use Search Items by ID or name to select an item before adding or editing bundle details.
A change affected fulfillment or inventory unexpectedly.	Stop making additional changes and contact us with the item, SKU, and workflow affected.
