Overview

When you upload inventory files to Amazon Seller Central, tracking the outcome of each upload is essential to ensure your listings go live correctly. The upload results page provides sellers with a detailed summary of each batch upload, including processing status, error counts, and downloadable reports that help diagnose any issues with your file.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Upload status tracking - Seller Central logs every inventory file upload with a timestamp, batch ID, and current processing status so you can monitor progress in real time.
• Processing reports available - Once your file finishes processing, Amazon generates a detailed report showing which items succeeded and which encountered errors.
• Error diagnosis tools - If items become inactive due to upload errors, you can download the processing report directly from the results page to identify exactly what went wrong.
• Re-upload workflow - After correcting errors in your file, you can navigate directly back to the upload page to submit your revised inventory file without starting from scratch.

How to View Upload Results

After submitting an inventory file through Seller Central, navigate to the upload results page to check on your submission. The results table displays key information for each upload, including the date and time of submission, a unique batch ID for reference, and the current processing status. While your file is being processed, the status column will update automatically. You can also use the refresh button to manually check for the latest results. Once processing is complete, the status column reflects the final outcome along with a summary of how many items were successfully processed.

Handling Errors and Inactive Listings

If your upload results show that some items have become inactive due to errors, Seller Central provides a direct path to resolving them. Click the download link next to the affected batch to retrieve the processing report, which is a file that itemizes each error by row and field. Common issues include missing required fields, invalid values, duplicate SKUs, or formatting problems in the original file. Use this report as a checklist to systematically correct each error in your inventory file before re-uploading. This targeted approach is far more efficient than trying to guess which entries caused problems.
