Amazon Releases Inventory Ledger to Streamline Inventory Data Reports

Simplify the way you view all your inventory movements! 🚀

Amazon UK announced the roll out of their new Inventory Ledger report that will help you check your Amazon-fulfilled inventory more efficiently.

This all-in-one report offers you:

• A comprehensive and full view of your FBA stock and its movements. You can now see your beginning inventory balance, shipments to Amazon fulfillment centers (FCs), purchase orders, returned items, settlements, reconciliations, removed products, and closing balance – all from one place.
• Historical movements of your FBA inventory during the last 18 months, including event type, product name, quantity, unique product codes, FC transfer updates, location (country or name of warehouse), and disposition (products sold, returned, removed, disposed of, damaged, lost, and found).
• A list of your reimbursements. However, reimbursements for lost or damaged products may take up to 45 days to show up on your account.

You can use the new Inventory Ledger to also spot any discrepancies in your inventory balances that could have occurred in the previous months, thereby affecting the accuracy of your data in the report window.

For instance, discrepancies could occur due to human error or warehouse theft. If it goes undetected for months, it could lead to significant profit loss.

• Keep an eye on your available (and unfulfillable) stock by expanding the dates of your ledger to get a detailed view of your inventory movements in Amazon FCs and to reconcile inventory balances.

The Inventory Ledger receives updates every 24 hours and essentially replaces these six older inventory reports:

1. Daily History
2. Monthly History
3. Inventory Adjustments
4. Event Detail
5. Inventory Reconciliation
6. Received Inventory

Amazon said that the six reports will no longer be used beginning the 30th of September 2022.
