Import WFS Removals

Overview

Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) allow sellers to send inventory to Walmart Marketplace warehouses so order processing can be handled there. This is done through WFS Shipment Plans. In some cases, you may need some of that inventory sent back to your local warehouse due to various reasons, such as product recalls or quality issues. These cases are handled through WFS Removal Orders.

While the actual order must be placed on Walmart, you will need to create a Warehouse Inventory Transfer in Sellercloud, which can be received when the shipment arrives at your warehouse. This workflow allows you to track the inventory’s movement history.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have already set up the WFS Workflow.

Check the last section of this article, Related Settings, for a list of Client Settings that can affect WFS removals.
