Before you Begin
Make sure your MyHiBid username and password are entered under company information.
Under the Miscellaneous dropdown menu, click Company Information.
Ensure your my.HiBid Username and Password are correct.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you create a backup of your data before importing.
Step 1: Open the Manifest Import Tool
Open Auction Lots & Preview Images from the Navigator.
Click the Manifest button.
When the backup reminder appears, click OK.
Step 2: Selecting Auction and Manifest
At the top of the screen, you will see a dropdown menu showing the Auction ID and Name.
Note: By default, the manifest will import into the auction you currently have open. If needed, select a different auction from the dropdown list.
2. You will see a list of all manifests available in your workspace. Select the manifest you want to import and click Next Step.
3. You will now see the list of lots included in that manifest.
Step 3: Editing the Source Code Prior to Importing
Note: If you wish to assign all lots to one Source Code, you may skip to the next step.
To edit on a per-lot basis, locate the lot(s) you wish to edit from the Lot List screen, then, in the column labeled Consign Code, enter the appropriate Source Code for that lot.
Note: the consignor needs to be entered into the Customer Center prior to assigning the Consign Code.
2. Lots shown in red are lot numbers that already exist in the auction. If you do not choose to overwrite existing data later, these lots will be skipped.
3. Next, review the information in the lot list to ensure everything is correct, then click Next Step. The lot list displays basic information including:
Consign Code
Lot Number
Sub Lot Number
Sale Order
Title
Description
Quantity
Quantity Assigned
Start Bid Each
Total Reserve
Minimum Estimate Each
Maximum Estimate Each
Ship Y/N
Step 4: Miscellaneous Options (Seller Assignment)
By default, imported lots are not assigned a seller code. You will need to enter a source code to assign the lots to in the Miscellaneous Options textbox.
Note: If you have multiple consignors you may create separate manifests for each consignor, or assign lots to the correct consignor(s) after importing
2. Click Next Step.
Step 5: Import the Manifest
First-Time Import
If there were no repeated lots (red lots) in Step 4, click Import Manifest.
Re-Importing or Updating Lots
Check the box Overwrite existing data with imported data. Overwriting will allow you to update any changes made to lots in your manifest.
Note: If there are no changes to the lot title, additional images will be added; however, other image changes will not apply.
2. Selecting the Overwrite option will display two additional options:
Delete existing lot images when the lot title is changed: select this if you are completely replacing an item or want to remove old images and replace them with new ones. This will delete the old images and import the new ones.
Delete existing lot links when the lot title is changed: select this if the item has been completely changed or you want to remove any existing web links during reimport.
3. With your preferred options selected, click Import Manifest.
4. The manifest is now imported.
