The Inventory Adjustments report shows the history of adjustments to your inventory in response to issues such as disposition changes, misplaced inventory, found inventory and ownership corrections.
Inventory adjustments are categorised by type and reason code. Type denotes whether an adjustment is an increase or decrease to your inventory level. Reason code describes the adjustment made.
Inventory adjustments often occur in pairs. For example, if your inventory changes disposition from sellable to warehouse-damaged, there will be two adjustments to your inventory: a decrease in your sellable inventory and an increase in your warehouse-damaged inventory. Here is an example:
Date | Transaction Item ID | FnSku | Merchant SKU | Title | FC | Quantity | Reason | Disposition |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
March 24, 2019 | 13895071006 | X0000COYXD | 2Y-IQFY-RUQV | How Deep Lies the Shadow | LEJ1 | -1 | Damaged at Amazon fulfilment centre | Sellable |
