Condition grading at intake
Grading happens once, as the label prints, against a fixed list you define. The grade travels with the unit into the bin, the lot, and the listing without being retyped.
How it works
How condition grading at intake works
01
Define your grade list
Go to Custom Fields under Administration and add a grade field on inventory. Set the allowed values, whether that is A, B and C or New, Open box and Salvage.
02
Make the grade required
Check the required box on the field. Staff cannot save a unit without setting a grade, so nothing reaches the floor ungraded.
03
Grade as you label
On the Add Inventory form, pick the grade from the list, then print the QR label. One pass covers identifying, grading, and tagging the unit.
04
Add the notes that matter
Record what the grade is based on: missing parts, packaging damage, untested. Photos attach to the same record for the listing later.
05
Carry the grade through
The grade stays on the unit through movement, lot building, and publishing, so pricing and buyer-facing condition notes come from the same source.

Common questions
Questions about this feature
Yes. The grade list is a custom field you define, so it can match whatever your buyers already recognise: letter grades, descriptive grades like Open box and Salvage, or a scheme specific to one supplier.
Everyone picks from the same fixed list at the same point in the workflow, and the field can be made required. That removes the free-text drift that makes lot 800 grade differently from lot one.
