How Should I Enter a Bill When My Vendor Ships Directly to FBA?

Enter the bill to the shipment's source warehouse, not the FBA Warehouse.

Enter the bill to the shipment's source warehouse, usually your Local Warehouse, not to the FBA Warehouse.

Why

When the shipment ships, ConnectStock takes the units out of the source warehouse. As Amazon receives them, it adds them to the FBA Warehouse. So the units have to be in the source warehouse first.

Example: you bill 500 units to the FBA Warehouse. When the shipment ships, the source warehouse drops by 500, often below 0. When Amazon receives them, FBA adds 500 more and shows 1,000 units for 500 real ones.

Things to know

  • The units sit in the source warehouse from the bill date until the ship date.

  • An ignored shipment never moves, so its units stay in the source warehouse.

  • To keep these units out of your Local Warehouse, use a separate warehouse for them. See How to Enter a Bill for FBA Shipments.
