Amazon Vendor Operational Performance | Simply explained

Vendor Operational Performance

Vendor Operational Performance refers to the system within Vendor Central that allows sellers and vendors to track their chargebacks and operational metrics. Chargebacks are financial penalties imposed for non-compliance with agreed terms or procedures, such as issues with purchase orders, packaging, or delivery.

  • Dashboard: Vendors can access the Operational Performance Dashboard to review their overall performance and specific chargebacks.
  • Chargeback Categories: Common reasons include problems with purchase orders, advanced shipment notifications, packaging, delivery, and direct fulfillment.
  • Disputing Chargebacks: If a vendor believes that a chargeback has been issued incorrectly, they have a 30-day window from the notification date to dispute it.
  • Chargeback Status: This indicates whether a chargeback is active and enforceable.

These tools are designed to help vendors maintain compliance and efficiently manage logistics within the Amazon ecosystem.
