Monitor Amazon Seller FBA Inbound Shipments

Why This Page Matters

When you send products to Amazon FBA, it’s common for the quantities Amazon actually receives to differ from what you shipped. If you send multiple shipments per week, these discrepancies can easily go unnoticed - and you lose money without knowing it.

With the Seller Inbound Shipments page, you can track all your FBA shipments and spot shortages as soon as Amazon closes a shipment.

Overview of All Shipments

On the Seller Inbound Shipments page, you’ll find all your FBA shipments in one clear table:

Monitor Amazon seller FBA inbound shipments with AMALYTIX

Here you can see the status of all your shipments at a glance. When Amazon closes a shipment (Shipment Status CLOSED) and there are differences between shipped and received quantities, they are highlighted in red.

Finding Shortages Quickly

To quickly identify if goods have been lost in transit to Amazon:

  1. Click on Filter
  2. Enable Show only differences
  3. Review shipments with status CLOSED

Filter options for inbound shipments in AMALYTIX

Shipments with shortages to your disadvantage are highlighted in red. For these, you should promptly request a reimbursement from Amazon.

Tip
Amazon sometimes needs time to fully process and book all incoming goods. Therefore, only check shipments with "CLOSED" status that are already a few days old.

Filter Options

You can filter your shipments by various criteria:

  • Date: Narrow down the time period (e.g., last 28 days)
  • Shipment Name: Search by shipment name
  • Shipment ID: Search by Amazon shipment number
  • SKU: Search for a specific SKU within shipments
  • Progress: Filter by your processing status (New, In Progress, Done)
  • Shipment Status: Filter by Amazon status (see below)
  • Show only differences: Display only shipments with discrepancies

Additionally, you can use the Quick Search to search directly by Shipment Name, Shipment ID, or SKU.

Saved Filters

You can save frequently used filter settings as Saved Filters and recall them later with one click. This saves time on recurring analyses.
