The work being asked to be done on this project, does not appear to be beyond reason to accomplish. But it is tedious. Accuracy is critical because incorrect information puts additional burden on the Merchant. There are fifty (50) items in the store currently, with the potential for hundreds in the future. Therefore, correcting as many errors as possible in this early stage, will not become larger problems once more items are added to the store.
