    Classes without 'NEW' as default location 

    When a SKU is newly added to your Eagle system, it will first assume the Default Location for its Class. It is a best practice for new SKUs o start its life with "NEW" as a location code. This way your store can run reports filtered by NEW as a location and quickly obtain a list of newly added and unlocated SKUs. This "NEW" default location has to be manually added to each Class and is not automatically added to classes added into your system.

    Tip: many stores automate an RIS report to print SKUs with NEW locations on truck day. This allows you to identify and then properly locate newly added SKUs. For more info see your Ace Retailer Library, task 6.

    1. In Eagle Browser, type OSPREY into the launch bar.
    2. In the Selection line, type MCNEW.
    3. Update ALL Class Locations? Press N on the keyboard. This will only update BLANK class locations to NEW.

    5. Press Enter to Continue.
