- Automatic label generation
- Direct tracking integration
Non-Partnered Carrier
Use your own carrier or freight forwarder:
- Manual tracking number entry

Creating an Inbound Shipment
- Go to FBA > Inbound Shipments and click New
- Select the source warehouse (Odoo)
- Select the destination Amazon fulfillment center
- Add products and quantities
- Click Submit Plan to send to Amazon
- Once approved, select carrier and print labels
- Ship and track
Discrepancy Tracking
When Amazon receives your shipment, the connector automatically compares:
- Shipped Qty (what you sent)
- Received Qty (what Amazon confirmed)
- Variance (difference for reporting)
Discrepancies appear in the shipment record for investigation and potential reimbursement claims.
tip
Link inbound shipments to Odoo delivery orders (stock.picking) for complete warehouse tracking. This creates a full audit trail from your warehouse to Amazon's fulfillment center.
