Until now, ConnectBooks handled FBA shipments by pulling inventory from one default source warehouse. That meant even if you shipped from multiple locations—like East Coast, West Coast, or AWD—our system only deducted from whichever warehouse you had set as the default. This often required manual warehouse changes, creating extra work for sellers.
What’s New
We’ve introduced a new setting: FBA Shipment Source Warehouse.
No Default Required: You no longer have to rely on a single default warehouse.
Per-Shipment Selection: Each FBA shipment can now be assigned its own source warehouse.
Clear Prompts: If a shipment doesn’t have a warehouse assigned, you’ll see a “Missing Warehouse” notice. Just click Resolve, select the correct warehouse, and save.
Automatic Matching from Amazon Source
To make it even easier, ConnectBooks can now auto-match the warehouse from Amazon.
If the warehouse name in Amazon matches exactly to a warehouse in ConnectBooks, the system will automatically assign it.
Example: If Amazon shows “AWD” and your ConnectBooks warehouse is also named “AWD,” it will be set automatically, no need to manually assign it.
This feature is especially powerful for sellers managing multiple warehouses. Just make sure your warehouse names in ConnectBooks match those in Amazon, and we’ll handle the rest.
How to Enable This Setting
To turn on this feature:
Go to Stores & Files → Inventory Files > File Settings.
Click on FBA Shipment Source Warehouse.

👉 Result: Accurate transfers, less manual work, and cleaner inventory management across all warehouses.
