Overview

Amazon rolled out the “Manage Inventory Health” page in Seller Central on March 12 2024, consolidating the multiple FBA monitoring tools that were previously spread across separate reports. The new interface replaces the older FBA Inventory dashboard and groups excess‑stock alerts, aging‑unit tracking, restock guidance, and IPI‑score helpers into a single view. Sellers who depend on precise inventory data should care because the change directly influences how they spot costly storage fees, plan replenishment, and protect Buy Box eligibility.

Key Points

• Unified dashboard replaces the legacy FBA Inventory page — All stock‑related metrics, from excess alerts to IPI score helpers, now appear on a single screen, eliminating the need to toggle between three or more separate reports.
• Excess inventory alerts surface automatically — The system flags any SKU whose on‑hand quantity exceeds what recent sales velocity justifies, displaying the overstock amount and the primary sales‑limiting factor such as low price, poor visibility, or high competition.
• Restock recommendations adapt to supplier inputs — Sellers can enter their own supplier lead‑time days and case‑pack sizes, and the tool will calculate a suggested order quantity and optimal reorder date for each SKU, for example recommending 48 units of a kitchen gadget when a 7‑day lead time and a 24‑unit case pack are entered.
• Aged inventory tracker highlights long‑term storage risk — Units that have been stored in Amazon fulfillment centers for 181 days or more are displayed with the exact number of days, enabling sellers to act before the 271‑day threshold that triggers higher long‑term storage fees.
• Consolidated Inventory Health report aggregates key data — The downloadable report now combines sales velocity, inbound shipment status, fee exposure, and the count of excess or aged units into one cohesive view, reducing the time spent compiling multiple spreadsheets.
• IPI score optimization tools are embedded — The page shows the current IPI components—such as stranded inventory, sell‑through rate, and in‑stock rate—and provides quick actions like price adjustments or removal orders to improve the overall score and maintain Buy Box eligibility.
