Overview
Once your products are added to the order and your Amazon shipments previewed, the next steps in completing your FBA Inbound Shipment are preparing your Amazon shipments and filling out your box content information.
Amazon Shipments
You can preview your FBA Inbound Shipment details, including Sellercloud and Amazon shipment IDs, fulfillment centers, and package names. Amazon can override your label type choice, and box content is based on the option chosen in the Shipment Details tab.
- Navigate to Inventory > FBA Inbound Shipments > Create New FBA Inbound Shipment.
- In the Amazon Shipments tab, review the products in each shipment by clicking the down arrow next to the Shipment ID to expand it.
- When ready, set the shipment(s) to a working status.
The working status must be set within 48 hours of Amazon’s preview.
- To reset Amazon’s shipment preview, print internal packing slips or download the shipment details to Excel, and select the corresponding buttons in the Amazon Shipments panel.
- Once you have at least one Amazon shipment set to a Working status, click the blue arrow to proceed to the next step in the wizard: Preparing the boxes.
