Amazon Redesigns FBA Fulfilment Reports With New Scheduling Feature
Amazon refreshed the FBA reports hub in Seller Central this week, adding a new “Scheduling” tab that lets sellers automate reports like Inventory Health, Reimbursements, and Storage Fees on daily, weekly or custom intervals (e.g., daily at 02:00 UTC). The redesign also introduces “Recently Viewed,” “Popular Reports,” and a dedicated “Scheduled Reports” folder for faster navigation.
Overview
Amazon has refreshed the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) reports hub in Seller Central, adding a streamlined layout and a brand‑new scheduling tool. The redesign launches this week and lets sellers set automatic generation for key FBA reports, cutting the need for manual pulls. Sellers who rely on inventory, fee, and performance data should act now to leverage the new navigation and automation.
Key Points
- New layout with sections — The reports page now groups items into “Recently Viewed,” “Popular Reports,” and a “What’s New” carousel, making it faster to locate high‑value data.
- Report scheduling tab — Each supported report includes a “Scheduling” tab where sellers can define daily, weekly, or custom intervals for automatic generation.
- Dedicated scheduled‑reports folder — Generated files appear in a separate “Scheduled Reports” area, eliminating the hunt through the general download list.
- Selective rollout — The automation feature is live for a subset of FBA reports such as Inventory Health, Reimbursements, and Storage Fees; additional reports will be added over time.
- Improved discoverability for newcomers — The “Popular Reports” section surfaces the most frequently used reports, helping new sellers quickly find tools for inventory planning and fee analysis.
How the Redesigned Reports Page Works
- Section‑based navigation — When sellers open the FBA reports hub, they first see a “Recently Viewed” row that displays the last three reports they accessed, such as the “Inventory Age” report, allowing a one‑click return.
- Popular reports showcase — Below the recent row, a “Popular Reports” strip highlights high‑traffic items like the “Fee Preview” and “Stranded Inventory” reports, guiding sellers who are unfamiliar with the full catalog toward the most actionable data.
- What’s New alerts — A rotating banner labeled “What’s New” surfaces any newly released reports, for example a recently added “Carbon Emissions” metric, ensuring sellers stay aware of Amazon’s expanding analytics.
