Amazon European FBA warehousing policy update: From now on, more products can create shipments for warehousing!

Amazon updates this list periodically. We have now added the product listing update date on the Restock Inventory page so you can see when we last updated the list. We recommend that you check the Restock Inventory page or Restock Report based on your business review cycle to see if there are any new products that you can create a shipment for.

You can find the quantity limits for limited-time restock products in two ways:

● Restock Inventory page: Click the quantity of the item just above the colored bar in the Days of Supply column (highlighted in yellow in the image below). In the pop-up window, the quantity at the end of the green area on the colored bar indicates the maximum inventory level. To calculate the number of units you can send, subtract the Total Amazon Inventory Supply from the maximum inventory level. Make sure to take into account the quantity of items in all pending and removed shipments.

● "Replenishment Report": Click the [Download Report] button in the upper right corner of the "Replenish Inventory" page (highlighted in yellow in the image below). You can view the current maximum inventory threshold in the [Current month - Maximum inventory threshold] column in the report. To calculate the number of items you can send, subtract the [Total number of items] from the maximum inventory threshold for the current month. Please make sure to take into account the quantity of items in all pending shipments and removed shipments.

When Amazon calculates the quantity of your product to be shipped, it takes into account the product's historical sales, current inventory levels, and available storage space in Amazon's fulfillment centers.

The color bar shows the Inventory Level Monitor. The monitor is divided into five zones. If the number of units for your FNSKU is in the green zone, your inventory levels are within the recommended range and you can offer more One-Day Shipping to Prime customers. If the number of units for your FNSKU is in the red or yellow zone, you currently have too much or too little inventory for your FNSKU. Zone thresholds are calculated one month in advance.

Although our delivery times may be longer than usual and our ability to offer next-day delivery to Prime customers may be temporarily limited due to the coronavirus pandemic, keeping inventory levels in the green zone can help you stay well-stocked, especially for best-selling items.

Please note that not all products are eligible to display the Stock Level Monitor. We are continually working to make the Stock Level Monitor available for more products.
