At the end it will give you a summary of what it has done. This is useful for testing the function until you get comfortable with it.
  2. Automatic - This will scan your orders before you print them with DAZzle and change to the least expensive shipping method (Media or BPM). This is turned on in Configure->Postage Settings->DAZzle Options in the Other Options section. No prompts are displayed.

Normally AMan Pro expects that the user will price new inventory before uploading. In the process, AMan Pro obtains the ASIN which is then used in the upload process. These functions are designed to be used if you import a New Inventory file with the price already assigned and simply want to upload as is without going through the pricing process.
