The steps below take you through the (monthly) process of managing your closeout promotion in your store. Your system contacts Mango on the 2nd of the month to build the necessary pieces for COM which is why we'd advise waiting until the 3rd to process these instructions.

  • A common question is why the Label # doesn't match the MIP # and this is because many SKUs will stay at their price for 2-3 months before moving to the next tier. The labeling process only has you print labels where the price is changing and we've found this can help reduce labor by up to 50% vs. print labels for every SKU in the promotion.

    2. Click Item Bin Labels (RBL)
    3. Click #4 - Promotion File

    8. In the top ribbon, press Run (F4)
    9. Return to Eagle Browser, click Label Design & Printing Menu
    10. Click Print Inventory Labels
    11. If there are any items listed, delete them from the view before continuing

  • Like any busy retail environment staff turnover occurs, months fly by, and Closeout Management sometimes gets skipped. This step is designed to help keep MIP clean and prevent confusion when processing COM. By the time you've made it to this step you should have activated the current month's MIP file and printed bin labels and there should be no other CLEARXX MIP files in your system; if there are please follow the steps below.

    3. In the Type drop-down scroll until you find the start of "C"
    4. You should be able to locate the current month's CLEAR file (for this examples we'll assume it's February) CLEAR02. If you see another CLEAR in your system, like CLEAR12, click on it and press Enter
    5. ​Once the SKUs load, locate the "Check Boxes" column (far left)
    6. Right click on the header and click Load and Select All
    7. In the top ribbon, click Delete (F10), a new window will appear and press Yes. This may take a few moments to delete.
