Create and import Amazon FBA shipment plans
Overview
Find out how to import Amazon FBA shipment plans to Cin7 Omni as purchase orders and branch transfers.
Before replenishing your Amazon FBA stock, you must send Amazon a shipment plan.
A shipment plan tells Amazon what stock they’re receiving, how the goods are packaged, who’s responsible for labeling the goods, and the carrier and tracking details of the shipment. As shipment plans represent changes to your stock levels, they must be synced with Cin7 Omni too.
This article explains how to create shipment plans in Amazon Seller Central and import them into Cin7 Omni as purchase orders or branch transfers. Alternatively, you can create your shipment plans in Omni and export them to Amazon Seller Central.
