Updating Country of Origin and Walmart Factory IDs

Updated 3 weeks ago ​by Merch Transformation Change Management

Maintenance is not yet supported in Supplier One for: Assortments, Import Shippers (General Merchandise), Pharmacy, and Fees. Please continue using your current processes (e.g., legacy workflows or systems).

You can export a spreadsheet in the Maintenance Hub to update the Country of Origin and/or Walmart Factory ID(s) of your items.

Attribute Name

Definition

Country of Origin

The country where the item and/or its components are manufactured, produced, or grown.

Walmart Factory ID

The ID number of the factory where the item will be manufactured (for items requiring factory disclosure to Walmart).

  • Factory IDs can be obtained by disclosing facility information in Retail Link. Click here to learn more.
  • If you change Factory ID(s) after an item is successfully set up, make sure to update the item in Supplier One using the instructions in this article.
For items that require factory disclosure, you must provide a valid Walmart Factory ID (i.e., do not enter "None" as you will receive an error and cannot complete item maintenance).
If factory disclosure is not required for your item, enter "None" for the attribute value.

Create and Export Your Spreadsheet

  1. In the left navigation menu, click Items and Inventory and select Maintenance Hub.
  2. On the Item Configuration & Supply Chain tile, click Update item configuration.
  3. Copy and paste up to 5,000 Walmart Item Numbers in the box. Then, click the Continue button.

    3. Update the number in the attribute name, e.g., Walmart Factory ID 2, Walmart Factory ID 3, Country of Origin 2, Country of Origin 3.
    By default, the spreadsheet will be named with the date and time it is created. Remember to save the spreadsheet in Excel Workbook, or .xlsx, format when done.
