What is an AMPSKU?

AMPSKUs are SKUs that consist of multiple component SKUs. These are commonly used for kits or sets of products, where a single SKU represents a combination of individual items. When a sales rep or buyer adds an AMPSKU to the cart, the individual components that make up that AMPSKU are listed separately on the order form.


Common Uses of AMPSKUs:

  • Upholstery Kits: A combination of a sofa, loveseat, chair, and ottoman.
  • Sectionals: A set that includes LAF, RAF, armless units, consoles, and corners.
  • Bedroom Sets: A bed, dresser, nightstand, chest, and mirror.
  • Beds: A headboard, footboard, rails, and slats.
  • Dining Sets: A table and chairs grouped together as one set.
  • Tables: A table base and top sold as one unit.


How to Create AMPSKUs in AMP

Follow these steps to set up AMPSKUs in your product catalog:

  1. Navigate to the Product Table:

    • Go to the Manage Catalog tab in the AMP CMS.
    • Select Products/SKUs from the left-hand menu.

  2. Select the Product Table:

    • Choose the product table file where you want to add AMPSKUs.

  3. Add a New Column for AMPSKU Composition:

    • Add a new column and tag it as AMPSKU Composition. This column will list the component SKUs that make up the AMPSKU.

  4. Create a New SKU for the Set/Kit:

    • Add a new SKU for the kit or set you are creating (e.g., Dining Set, Sectional Set).
    • In the AMPSKU Composition column, list the component SKUs that make up this kit, separated by commas. For example, you would list the sofa, loveseat, and chair SKUs for a sectional set.



Pricing and Other Attributes

By default, AMP will automatically calculate the following based on the component SKUs:

  • Price
  • Cubes
  • Item Name
  • Inventory


If you need to override any of these calculated values (e.g., price or inventory), you can manually enter the corresponding data for the AMPSKU.


Using Quantities in the AMPSKU Composition Column

To specify quantities for component SKUs in the AMPSKU, use a colon to indicate the quantity. For example, if you are creating a dining set with 4 chairs, you would indicate the quantity by adding ":4" next to the chair SKU. So, for four chairs, it would look something like this: "2233CHA:4" (where "2233CHA" is the chair SKU).


Important Notes:

  • Exact SKU Matching: The component SKUs listed in the AMPSKU Composition column must match exactly with the SKUs already present in the product table. If there is a mismatch, an error will occur.


Pro Tip:

The AMPSKU Composition column allows you to manage complex kits and sets efficiently. It helps streamline the process of selling bundled items while giving you control over individual components and their pricing.


By following these steps, you can easily set up and manage AMPSKUs within AMP, allowing your sales reps and buyers to view and order complete sets or kits with ease.
