Overview
Sellercloud's PO to FBA Planning feature enables you to manage inventory that needs to be purchased and sent to FBA by linking products with a Need Restocking status to their associated Purchase Orders, along with the required processing information. As inventory is received, the system updates the PO FBA Planning page with the quantities from the related PO (or split PO), allowing you to create FBA Shipments directly from that page. If kits are included, it will display how many kits can be assembled based on the quantity received on the PO.
Manage PO to FBA Plannings
When FBA products are added to a purchase order with PO FBA Planning, Sellercloud generates a PO FBA Planning page to track items intended for FBA. To add products to an FBA planning, select the required items, open the Action menu, and choose Add to PO (with PO FBA Planning).
More information on Predictive FBA Restocking is available here.
