Adding Lots to a Pre-Lotted Auction — Turning Inventory Into an Auction

Once you've created your auction, it's time to start building the actual sale. For a pre-lotted auction, that means adding the individual lots that will eventually be offered to your bidders.

AuctionRPM is designed to accommodate different ways of managing inventory. Perhaps your auction company maintains a warehouse of inventory, with items arriving well before you know exactly which auction they will be sold in. When you're ready, those existing inventory items can be assigned to the appropriate auction.

Or perhaps you don't maintain an inventory warehouse at all. Instead, you may simply want to pre-catalog an upcoming auction, entering and organizing the lots specifically for that sale.

This tutorial introduces the process of adding lots to a pre-lotted auction and demonstrates how AuctionRPM supports these different approaches. As you build your auction, you can bring together the inventory that will be sold and organize it into the pre-lotted structure you'll use on auction day.

The important thing is that AuctionRPM doesn't require every auction company to handle inventory the same way. Whether you're pulling previously entered merchandise from a warehouse inventory or cataloging items specifically for your next auction, AuctionRPM gives you the flexibility to build the auction in the way that best matches your operation.

Your inventory. Your auction. Your way of doing business. AuctionRPM gives you the tools to bring it all together.
