Product Data
You can submit a product data spreadsheet even though you may not have all of the data that we are asking for. At a minimum we need the Product title, any barcodes associated with the Title, Returnable Status and the Cost (what you will charge us for the item). Before we can place products on a Purchase Order we will also need to have carton and inner pack quantities.
Product that is not on a purchase order can be edited from the Product Data tab.

Click on the Product Data tab, Product Search tab, then Product Data to search for products that do not exist on a purchase order. Enter search fields or leave blank and click on the Search Product button then click on the productid to display the Product Discrepancy form for that productid. Enter your changes and click on the Submit Discrepancy button.

Carton Labels
After you have downloaded the purchase order on www.srvexchange.com, please carefully check it for accuracy. Some items to check are barcode information (ISBN or UPC), carton quantity, cost/discount and ordered quantity. If everything on the order is correct, then you should order your carton labels.
Click on the Labels tab. You can select to order either carton labels or items labels from this tab.
Yes. The carton labels must reflect what you are actually shipping AND what is reflected on the purchase order. If the purchase order does not reflect the correct carton quantity, please visit the section on Discrepancies for directions on changing the carton quantity in our system. Please do NOT ship until you have correct carton labels that reflect what is in the cartons and what is on the purchase order.
Item Labels
All product coming into our Austin and New Braunfels distribution centers is required to have a scannable barcode and the US retail price. If your product already has the barcode and price, then you do not need to order item labels. If your product needs item labels, then click on the Labels tab, then Item Labels.
Yes. You can print your own item labels. The format of your label should be, for example, US $4.99. Please place the price labels near but not covering the product barcode. They should be on the back or bottom of the product. Retail price labels should never be placed on the front of the product.
