Overview
Instead of creating an FBA Shipment in Sellercloud, you also can choose to create and prepare your shipment in Seller Central and then import it in Sellercloud. Once you’ve completed the shipment in Seller Central, Sellercloud makes importing it easy and will ensure that inventory is deducted properly based on what you have shipped to Amazon.
Note: When importing an unshipped shipment, the Box Content Feed selection will not be imported from Seller Central and will have to be set manually in Sellercloud. For fully shipped shipments, you will need to select a Ship From warehouse that is non bin-enabled. The bin cannot be determined automatically upon import.
Import the Shipment
- Create the FBA inbound shipment in Seller Central.
- Complete the shipping plan process and approve the shipment.
- In Sellercloud, search by “Import FBA inbound shipment” or go to Inventory > FBA Inbound Shipments > Import FBA Inbound Shipment.
- Enter the Amazon Shipment ID and click the blue arrow button to preview the shipment.
- In the Preview tab, click the green flag button to import the shipment.
The Preview page may show important information about possible import issues, such as “Kit not set as Independent,” “SKU doesn’t exist in Sellercloud,” and “SKU is not set to FBA.” You can resolve these issues and preview the shipment again to confirm that these problems have been resolved.
-
- By default, the shipment will import with a Working status. You can also see the imported shipment on the Manage Shipments page.
- If the shipment was already shipped from Seller Central, it will import with a Closed status, and inventory will be removed from the regular Ship From warehouse. A movement record will appear on the Inventory Movement page.
- By default, the shipment will import with a Working status. You can also see the imported shipment on the Manage Shipments page.
