Until now, when there was a discrepancy in an FBA shipment, you had to look into and adjust each shipment by hand. Now, ConnectBooks offers auto adjustment for FBA shipment discrepancies. Here's how it works.
1. The Schedule button
On the FBA Shipments page, Shipment Discrepancies tab, you'll see a Schedule button in the top right corner.
2. Set rules for auto adjustment
Click Schedule to set your rules:
Apply rule after (days) (required): How many days after an FBA shipment is closed ConnectBooks should wait before taking action. It must be at least 2. For example, enter 30 to only auto adjust discrepancies 30 days after the shipment closed.
If Discrepancy is less than (%) (optional): Only auto adjust smaller discrepancies. This is checked per item. For example, enter 20 to only adjust an item when its discrepancy is less than 20% of the units shipped for that item. Larger discrepancies are still left for you to review.
Action (required): Choose what ConnectBooks should do:
Create Adjustment (changes inventory levels)
Create Warehouse Transfer (moves stock between warehouses)
Then click Schedule.
3. Why this matters
This feature helps you:
Save time by cutting manual reconciliation work
Avoid mistakes by limiting auto adjustments to safe thresholds
Keep control by setting rules for when and how adjustments happen
Frequently asked questions
When does the day count start?
From when the marketplace marks the shipment as fully closed, which can take a long time.
Is the percent for the whole shipment?
No. It's checked for each item, against the units shipped for that item.
Can I change the rule later?
Click Schedule to see your current rule. You can delete it and set a new one.
