Inventory Reconciliation
Inventory reconciliation is the process of matching physical inventory with Amazon’s inventory records to identify lost, damaged, or miscounted units.
What is Inventory Reconciliation?
Inventory reconciliation is the process of comparing your actual inventory with Amazon’s reported inventory data to identify discrepancies such as lost, damaged, or unaccounted-for units.
Why Inventory Reconciliation Is Important
- Helps recover reimbursement for lost or damaged units
- Prevents unexpected stockouts
- Improves inventory planning accuracy
- Protects cash flow and profitability
- Identifies fulfillment and warehouse issues
Common Inventory Discrepancies
Inventory issues can occur due to warehouse damage, miscounts, inbound shipment errors, or customer returns. Without regular reconciliation, these issues can go unnoticed for long periods.
