Add Auction Items

For auction events, your organization can offer multiple items for bid or purchase. Typically, you may receive these items as donations from constituents. When you receive an item as an auction donation, you must add the item to the inventory. When you add the item, you can select its applicable category, enter its value and minimum bid, and select the constituent who donates the item to your organization.

Tip: To add multiple instances of the same item, you can add one instance and create copies with the same parameters. For information about how to create copies of an item, refer toCopy an Auction Item.

You can add an auction item from Events or the auction item inventory. You can also add an item from the record of an auction or a package.

Tip: To add a large number of auction items, you can use the Auction Item batch. You can add new items, as well as new constituents through this batch. You cannot add auction packages through the Auction Item batch. For more information about how to add items through the Auction Item batch, refer to the Batch section of the help file.
