Amazon inventory management starts with your sell-through velocity, available stock, inbound units, production lead time, FBA receiving time, and known demand events. We turn those inputs into reorder triggers and show where the forecast depends on assumptions rather than observed sales.
Stockouts interrupt availability, while excess inventory ties up cash and increases storage exposure. We track IPI against Amazon's current requirement and compare shipments with the capacity shown in the account. You make the final purchase and transfer decisions.
The reorder quantity starts with observed sell-through, not one sales average. We separate available, reserved, inbound, and received but unavailable units. That position is compared with production, transport, FBA receiving, your approved buffer, and known demand events.
Search interest, advertising plans, and historical peaks can inform the forecast but cannot guarantee orders. Price, competition, or listing conversion can change the outcome. We document the assumptions and show the quantity they imply. You make the final order or transfer decision.
The IPI score measures how efficiently and productively FBA inventory is managed. Amazon's current IPI guidance says it can influence capacity together with sales history, seasonal periods, forecasts, new selection, deals, fulfillment center capacity, and shipment lead time. The guidance does not provide one current score that grants unrestricted capacity.
We read the IPI requirement, usage, and estimated limits shown in your account. Amazon sets and can revise those limits. We can adjust the plan and prepare an available action, but cannot promise a score or amount of space.
Lead time is the path from an approved purchase order to sellable stock, not only production. It includes preparation, collection, transport, relevant handoffs, appointments, arrival, receiving, and distribution inside Amazon's network. Each stage can add days.
Delivered does not mean immediately sellable. Units may be checked in, transferred, reserved, or moving through receiving. We keep those states separate so inbound stock is not counted too early. The reorder point uses the complete path for that shipment.
A stockout interrupts sales history, advertising availability, and organic position. Its impact depends on the product, category, duration, competing offers, and alternative fulfillment routes.
Overstock locks cash in units that may age or require a price or removal decision. Neither outcome has one universal cost. We compare margin, storage exposure, production constraints, recovery options, and the value of availability. You decide which risk the business can carry.
Replenishment plan recalculated weekly from sell-through velocity, production lead times and FBA receiving times, with an alert before the stockout threshold. Available, reserved, inbound, aged, and unfulfillable units remain separate. Promotions, seasonal demand, supplier constraints, and capacity are explicit adjustments.
The output is a proposed quantity with documented assumptions, not an automatic purchase. We show what changed and why. You approve the order, transfer, or decision to wait. This internal cadence does not create a weekly reporting or meeting promise.
FBA storage fees depend on occupied space and the conditions Amazon applies. Exposure can rise as units age or remain beyond demand. We track age, coverage, sell-through, and available actions without inserting amounts that can change by marketplace, season, product, or policy.
We can propose a smaller shipment, pause, removal, return, liquidation, or another disposition and show the remaining stock. You decide whether to preserve margin, release cash, retain inventory, or accept disposal. No action is presented as eliminating every charge.
Aged inventory may remain sellable without support from recent demand. Unsellable inventory can include damaged, defective, returned, or otherwise unfulfillable units. A return may re-enter sellable stock or require another action.
We separate the groups, reconcile quantities, and review available recovery, return, liquidation, or disposal paths. You authorize the action. Catalog or account causes go to Amazon account management, while suspected infringement belongs under brand protection.
Seasonal planning starts weeks before the event because production, transport, and receiving precede sellable stock. We estimate a demand range, check capacity, choose products for additional coverage, and record what could remain below the planning case.
More inventory supports availability but increases cash and storage exposure. Less raises stockout risk. Campaign choices remain within Amazon PPC management. We do not promise full availability or the absence of overstock.
The same ASIN needs separate forecasts when stock is held on two continents. Sales velocity, seasonal timing, inbound routes, receiving conditions, capacity, currency exposure, and recovery options can differ. A combined global total can hide a shortage in one region and excess in another, so each marketplace keeps its own available, inbound, and planned quantities.
We manage inventory across Amazon FBA marketplaces including US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Canada. Transfer and replenishment decisions are made against the receiving market rather than treated as one shared pool. Tax registrations and fiscal obligations are outside this inventory scope and belong under EU VAT compliance.
Slow sales do not always mean the order quantity was wrong. The listing may have weak conversion, the price may have changed, advertising may be constrained, or the product may have lost relevant traffic. Sending less stock does not correct those causes, and sending more can increase exposure while the commercial issue remains.
We compare inventory movement with the available performance evidence before changing the replenishment assumption. Advertising questions go to PPC management, and sales and profitability interpretation belongs under analytics and reporting. A new seller still preparing its first stock plan belongs under Amazon account setup. A suspended account requires account reinstatement.
The inventory section of the monthly report records available and inbound units, sell-through movement, projected coverage, stockout exposure, aged and unfulfillable stock, capacity position, and the open replenishment decisions. It separates observed account data from forecast assumptions and identifies changes that need your approval.
The report does not promise forecast accuracy, continuous availability, a lower fee total, a particular IPI score, or additional capacity. It explains what changed, why the plan changed, and which decision remains with you. The services page shows where inventory work ends and other operational scopes begin.
