Prepare inventory for Amazon before it reaches the fulfillment center
AM Services prepares inventory to the approved FBA work order, including unit and FNSKU labeling, carton labels, agreed packaging, bundles or multipacks, and final checks before the shipment leaves the warehouse.
FBA prep should start from the exact product and shipment being prepared, not from a generic packaging assumption. The warehouse needs the correct SKU identifiers, quantities, label files and any packaging or bundle instructions before production begins.
Useful inputs include:
SKU, ASIN or other product identifier
Quantity to prepare
FNSKU or unit-label files when required
Shipment or carton-label files when available
Packaging, multipack or bundle instructions
Lot or expiry information when it is part of the required workflow
Destination and shipment reference needed for the outbound handoff
Complete the approved prep and labeling
The warehouse completes the physical work defined for the SKU and shipment. Different products can require different prep, which is why the task list should be attached to the work order instead of assumed across the full account.
Typical FBA prep work can include:
Applying FNSKU or other approved unit labels
Covering or correcting existing identifiers when instructed
Applying carton or shipment labels
Agreed protective packaging or repackaging
Building approved multipacks, kits or bundles
Applying required bundle or package identifiers
Preparing cartons to the agreed shipment configuration
Check the finished work before outbound
Before the shipment is handed off, prepared inventory is checked against the approved instructions. The purpose is to catch avoidable warehouse errors such as the wrong SKU, wrong label, missing label, incorrect bundle configuration or an unresolved quantity difference before the shipment is already in transit.
Final checks can cover:
Product and SKU identity
Prepared quantity
Label placement and readability
Bundle or multipack configuration
Packaging condition
Carton count and shipment-label match
Outstanding exceptions that still need a decision
AM Services prepares the shipment to the defined work order and requirements relevant to the shipment. Final carrier performance and Amazon fulfillment-centre acceptance remain outside the warehouse’s control.
