Overview

When using Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) to replenish inventory into the FBA network, sellers may encounter a range of errors that can delay or block shipments. Understanding these errors and knowing how to resolve them quickly is essential for maintaining smooth inventory flow and avoiding stockouts.

This reference covers the most common replenishment errors that occur when transferring products from AWD to FBA, along with step-by-step guidance on how to fix each one.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Missing product information is the most common blocker — Errors related to missing dimensions, titles, or categories must be resolved in the AWD inventory page before replenishment can proceed.
• SKU conflicts can halt shipments — If a SKU is already assigned to a different product, you will need to create a new offer with a unique SKU to continue using manufacturer barcodes.
• Account configuration issues require Seller Support — Some errors stem from account-level problems such as incomplete identity verification or store status flags that need direct intervention.
• Performance alerts can suspend shipping privileges — Repeated inbound shipment problems may result in temporary suspension of your ability to create or modify shipments.
• Stranded inventory must be resolved separately — Products without active offers will be flagged, and sellers must fix these through the stranded inventory workflow before replenishment resumes.

Product Data Errors

Several replenishment errors stem from incomplete or missing product information in your catalog. The most frequent issues include missing package dimensions, missing product titles, missing category assignments, and products not appearing in the destination store catalog. All of these errors follow a similar resolution path: navigate to the AWD inventory page, search for the affected ASIN, and click on the issues tab. From there, select the product from the drop-down menu in the appropriate column and add the missing information. Dimensions must reflect the manufacturer's original packaging measurements, and all required catalog fields must be populated before the product becomes eligible for FBA replenishment.
