Process to request a product with same upc to cleave
I have seen the replies to request support to cleave an item but without details on the process
(Brand sells it as an assortment but all have the same UPC code)
Example: Dog ornaments same UPC code for 5 different breeds of dogs
What are the steps? Do I create a product with a general description that fits all the product in the group with zero inventory and then submit a request to “cleave” the product? In the request to do specify all the variants of the UPC code? Will I ten have a chance to submit a different title for each breed of dog in the group?
If it’s a product already posted with all variants as a group (but in a physical store it would be sold per piece) - can I request an already existing item to be cleaved so I could sell each breed separately (obviously someone who has a poodle does not want a poodle, doberman, and lab etc, they just want the poodle ornament)

You need to have one listing in your inventory for each dog breed before you request the cleave. Start with creating one ornament. If it’s a poodle, provide the details for the poodle.
Then create new SKU’s based on the ASIN for the poodle. After creation, you edit each of these SKU’s to provide the releveant details for the particular dog breed. When you request the cleave, Amazon will pull the details you provided from the SKU’s for the other dog breeds, and use them to create the new (beagle, schnauzer, lab etc) ASIN’s.
- Before the cleave, you will have 12 offers in your inventory against one single ASIN, the poodle.
- After the cleave, you’ll have 12 offers in your inventory, each for a different ASIN.
In the request to do specify all the variants of the UPC code?
Yes, you will need to make 11 cleave requests to come up with a total of 12 unique ASIN’s. Amazon prefers you submit these all at one time. You can send them in an Excel spreadsheet.
It would look something like this -
Basically, what Amazon does (as I understand it), is finds the SKU in your inventory called ‘YellowLabOrn’. Then they pull the basic fields from that listing (at least title, description, and bullet points) and use that data to create a new ASIN.
Will I ten have a chance to submit a different title for each breed of dog in the group?
You do that before you request the cleave. You add the YellowLabOrn SKU to your inventory by creating a new offer based on the original poodle listing. You edit the YellowLabOrn SKU to reflect the correct data for a yellow lab. You send it to Amazon to request a cleave.
If it’s a product already posted with all variants as a group (but in a physical store it would be sold per piece) - can I request an already existing item to be cleaved so I could sell each breed separately
You can request it, but Amazon has to agree that what you’re requesting is valid. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. They may see it as a product that should only be sold as a group of however-many ornaments come in the assortment. It doesn’t hurt to try though. 
The process is still the same. You would use the current listing for the assortment in place of the Poodle ornament in the example above.

I have tried this but it rejects it because it has the same UPC code as the poodle - that’s where I get stuck.

Thank you very much. I will try that later today
