Overview

Amazon has introduced a brand‑new “Manage Inventory Health” page inside Seller Central, replacing the former FBA Inventory dashboard. The redesign merges excess‑stock alerts, restock suggestions, aging‑inventory data, and IPI‑score tools into one view, letting sellers make faster, data‑driven decisions. Sellers who rely on FBA should care because the new hub directly influences storage fees, stock‑out risk, and the Inventory Performance Index that governs future capacity.

Key Points

• All‑in‑one hub — The single page consolidates five separate reports that previously required navigation between different tabs.
• Automatic excess flags — Amazon now highlights overstocked ASINs and shows the specific cause, such as low price competitiveness or suppressed listings.
• Tailored restock advice – Recommendations factor in real‑world lead times and case‑pack sizes you enter, producing order quantities and reorder dates that match your supply chain.
• Aged‑stock visibility — Units aged 271‑365 days are shown alongside the surcharge trigger, and items older than 365 days are flagged for higher penalties.
• IPI improvement focus — The dashboard surfaces the exact metrics that affect your Inventory Performance Index, making it easier to lift scores and avoid storage caps.

How Manage Inventory Health Works

1. Dashboard load — When you open the page, Amazon pulls the latest inventory snapshot and displays four panels: Excess Inventory, Restock Recommendations, Aged Inventory, and IPI Score. For example, a seller with 2,400 SKUs sees 87 items highlighted in the Excess panel within seconds.
2. Excess detection — The system scans each ASIN’s sell‑through rate, price position, and listing health. If an item’s velocity falls below a threshold, it appears with a red flag and a note such as “Pricing below competitor by 12%.”
3. Restock calculation — Using your entered lead time (e.g., 21 days for overseas production) and case‑pack quantity (e.g., 24 units per case), Amazon computes a suggested purchase order of 480 units and a reorder date of June 15. The recommendation updates automatically when sales velocity changes.
