Overview

Amazon Seller Central offers a Custom Inventory Report feature that lets sellers tailor their inventory reports by selecting only the data columns they actually need. Rather than sifting through a default spreadsheet packed with fields that may not apply to your business, this tool puts you in control of what information appears in your downloaded reports. For sellers managing large catalogs or juggling multiple product lines, this customization can save significant time and reduce errors when analyzing inventory data.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Fully customizable columns — Sellers can pick and choose from a wide range of available data fields, building a report that matches their specific workflow and analysis needs.
• Column groups available — In addition to selecting individual columns, Amazon provides grouped column sets so sellers can quickly add related fields without picking them one by one.
• Some columns are locked — Certain core fields, such as the item identifier, cannot be removed from the report to ensure data integrity.
• Column order is fixed — Currently, Amazon does not allow sellers to rearrange the order of columns in the report, so the output follows a preset sequence.
• Feature-dependent availability — Some columns only appear for sellers who have specific features enabled on their account, such as B2B pricing, VAT settings, or certain shipping programs.

How to Create a Custom Inventory Report

To build a customized report, start by navigating to the Reports section in Seller Central and selecting Inventory Reports from the dropdown menu. From there, you will see an option to customize the columns included in your report. Amazon presents a list of all available fields, and you can add columns by selecting them and clicking the add button, or remove unwanted columns using the remove option. Once you are satisfied with your selections, save your custom report settings. A confirmation dialog will appear letting you know your preferences have been stored. To generate the actual report, return to the Inventory Reports page and click the request or generate button. Your customized report will then be compiled with only the columns you selected.
