Can I Change an FBA Shipment Name on Inventory Ahead?

Zissy Schwartz — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 16:22:05 +0000

Inventory Ahead provides the flexibility to edit an FBA shipment name until its status transitions to ‘shipped’. Once the status has been updated to ‘shipped’, any modifications made will not be reflected on Amazon’s platform.

In the event that you decide to alter the shipment name while the shipment is in progress, you have the option to reprint labels to accurately display the updated name. It’s important to keep in mind that there might be a slight delay before your changes reflect on Amazon, so there’s no need for concern.

To modify the shipment name in Inventory Ahead, simply click on the ‘Edit’ icon located near the shipment name in either step of the shipment process. This straightforward action ensures seamless management of your FBA shipments’ information.

I am Trying to Create an FBA Shipment and I am Getting a Missing Dimensions Error

Zissy Schwartz — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 20:23:40 +0000

If you encounter an error message stating “Missing Dimensions” while creating an FBA shipment, it indicates that the listing in question lacks item dimensions or package dimensions in your Seller Central account.

To address this issue, you should proceed by updating the product dimensions on your Amazon Seller Central account for all the listings mentioned in the error message.

Please note that it may take up to an hour for the updated dimensions to be reflected on these products. Once the dimensions are updated, you should be able to proceed with the shipment as intended.

Why Does my Item Show “Inbound”?

Zissy Schwartz — Mon, 29 May 2023 15:55:33 +0000

The reason why an item shows as “inbound” on the “Listings” page is that the product is part of a Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) shipment that has not yet been received by Amazon.

Once the shipment is received by Amazon, the number of inbound inventory will be displayed as “FBA inventory” on the “Listings” page.
