Overview

Amazon's FBA Removal Reports provide sellers with detailed records of all inventory removal orders processed through Fulfillment by Amazon. These reports are essential for tracking what happens to your products after you request them to be returned to you or disposed of. Whether you're managing excess stock, dealing with unfulfillable inventory, or reconciling shipments, removal reports give you the data you need to keep your records accurate.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Removal reports track all removal orders — Every time you create a removal order to have inventory sent back to you or disposed of, the details are recorded in these reports, including item-level tracking of each unit.
• Multiple report types are available — Amazon provides both a Removal Order Detail report and a Removal Shipment Detail report, each offering different levels of information about your removal activity.
• Reports are accessible through Seller Central — You can generate and download these reports from the Reports section under Fulfillment, making it straightforward to pull the data you need for accounting or inventory reconciliation.
• Shipment-level tracking is included — The Removal Shipment Detail report provides tracking numbers and carrier information so you can monitor when returned inventory will arrive.
• Reports cover both returns and disposals — Whether your inventory is being shipped back to your address or being disposed of by Amazon, both types of removal actions are captured.

How Removal Reports Work

When you submit a removal order through Seller Central or the API, Amazon begins processing the request at its fulfillment centers. As units are picked, packed, and either shipped back to you or disposed of, the system generates records that populate your removal reports. The Removal Order Detail report captures the high-level information about each order, including the order ID, SKU, FNSKU, disposition type (return or disposal), the quantity requested, and the quantities in various processing stages such as in-progress, cancelled, or completed. This report is your primary tool for confirming that Amazon is processing your removal requests as expected and for identifying any orders that may have stalled or been partially fulfilled.
