We're utilizing Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) to manage our inventory. The concept is that we send inventory to AWD, and Amazon automatically replenishes FBA inventory from AWD based on sales demand. Each day, Amazon checks FBA inventory against recent sales data and determines the quantity needed from AWD. When needed, transfers are created to move inventory from AWD to FBA.
Currently, we track inbound shipments to AWD and rely on Amazon's data to monitor the available inventory in AWD. However, there’s an issue: when Amazon initiates a transfer from AWD to FBA, the inventory movement doesn’t seem to appear in the Selling Partner API data. This lack of visibility makes it challenging to track what’s in transit.
In Seller Central, there’s a field called "Outbound to FBA" (as shown in the attached screenshot) that tracks the quantity shipped from AWD to FBA but not yet received by FBA. This helps us understand what inventory is on its way to FBA and still in transit.
Request:
Is there a way to access this "Outbound to FBA" information through the Selling Partner API? It would allow us to better monitor these transfers and manage our inventory in transit.
