iHow to verify brand name

Hi, I am receiving the following message when I try to submit my NEW entries. How do I find out what is the brand/sub-brand that was used within Kroger systems during set up? I have been consistently using the same brand name in all my NEW entries. 

 

The brand/sub-brand for this item(s) (10858466006114,00858466006117) has not been seen in VIP previously. Accurate brand names and the consistency of their spelling and capitalization is critical. Continuing with this brand/sub-brand will confirm this name as a new/additional brand name in VIP for your company so that other similar branded items will not receive this validation message. For New items, a new brand name will create a new pricing group within Kroger systems. Please verify the entered brand/sub-brand name.

Hello,

The Brand Name warning is a soft error in Product introduction. You can see the past complete items to see how the brand name was entered. The error will always show on a new item as a reminder to be consistent. You will be fine as long as you use the same Brand Name.

Thank you!

I am consistently using the name 'Baebody' as brand name for all of my new entries. They are showing up as 'In Progress - Supplier' - Does this mean my items were successfully listed?

Janet,

In Process Supplier is still with you. When you have completed the top off and submit, your item will be put into "In Process-Retailer." Once they are in process retailer then this confirms that they have been successfully submitted to Kroger.
