# Inbound

> Navigate the inbound flow of consigner Items awaiting acceptance into your inventory, with advanced search and filter options to streamline the process.

## About

The Inbound Inventory provides an overview of Items that have been created by Consigners and are awaiting Acceptance. Once a Consigner delivers their Item to the specified Location, Admin or Employees can accept it.

Inbound's main purpose is to accept Consigner Items into your store.

## Search

Inbound allows you to Search for products using either the title or SKU.

## Filter

Inbound also supports the ability to Filter results to your specification. The Filter options are as follows:

* **Ownership**: The Item owner's full name.
* **Location**: The Item's location.
* **Size**: The Item's size.

The filtering attributes work in conjunction with each other. For example, the Filter image above would return Items that have:

* **John Doe** as the sole owner
* **Flagship Store** as the location
* **12** as the size

The attributes are optional; you can choose as many or as few as desired.

## Using Search & Filter

Search and Filter can also be used in conjunction with each other. A few examples of this feature are below:

| Item Title                    | Size | Ownership | Location       |
| ----------------------------- | ---- | --------- | -------------- |
| adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Sulfur | 12   | John Doe  | Flagship Store |
| adidas Yeezy Slide Ochre      | 10   | Jane Doe  | Flagship Store |
| adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Sulfur | 12   | Jane Doe  | Flagship Store |

### Example #1

* **Search**: `adidas yeezy`
* **Filter**:
  * **Location**: Flagship Store

Since all three Items are located at the **Flagship Store**, all are returned.

### Example #2

* **Search**: `adidas yeezy`
* **Filter**:
  * **Size**: 12
  * **Ownership**: John Doe

Since there's only one Item that is a size **12** and owned by **John Doe**, one is returned.

### Example #3

* **Search**: `sulfur`
* **Filter**:
  * **Ownership**: John Doe

Since there's only one item owned by **John Doe**, one is returned.

### Benefits

Using both Search and Filter is the recommended method to quickly and accurately accept Items into consignment.

## Accepting an Item

To accept an Item, select the checkbox that references the Item. Once the correct Item is selected, locate the **Accept Items** button and click it.

### After Acceptance

Once the Item has been accepted, the [Item Label](/platform/labels/item-labels) will be available on the Labels page. The Consigner will also receive an email upon acceptance of their Item.

## Declining an Item

To decline an Item, simply select the checkbox that references the Item. Once the correct Item is selected, locate the **Decline Items** button and click it. Within the modal, there is a **Decline Reason** form field.

The **Decline Reason** will be sent in an email to the Consigner. A few reasons to decline an Item could be:

* Incorrect size or SKU
* Failed authentication

Within the **Decline Reason**, directions can also be provided. For example, if a Consigner accidentally submitted the wrong size, suggesting resubmission with the correct size could streamline the decline flow.

Once an Item is declined, the status will change to **Withdrawal Requested**.
