補充庫存

常見問題

亞馬遜如何生成補貨建議？

良好的關鍵之一是保持庫存有適量的存貨。這可能具有挑戰性，因為“適宜數量”會根據未來的需求和持有過大或過小庫存的成本而變化。

為了幫助您應對這些挑戰，亞馬遜開發了一套復雜的優化模型，可以為商品計算出建議的補貨數量和發貨日期。這些數量和日期建議將考慮您的可變成本、預期收入和預計未來需求。這些建議旨在為您提供相關信息，您可利用這些信息平衡缺貨成本（銷售損失）與持有過大庫存的成本（資本成本和倉儲費），從而幫助您獲得最高庫存投資回報率。

請注意，該模型依賴于您的輸入內容，同時利用預估的未來需求來生成補貨建議。

我是否需要遵循亞馬遜的補貨建議？

我們建議您遵循建議的補貨數量和發貨日期，以避免出現缺貨或庫存不足的情況。我們的建議綜合考慮未來的需求預測和您為每種商品提供的信息。通過調整賣家和供應商備貨時間以及補貨頻率等商品級別信息，您可以對您的補貨建議進行細微調整。要在“補充庫存”頁面上為特定商品更新這些設置，請從相應商品右側的下拉菜單中選擇【自定義 SKU 設置】。您也可以點擊頁面右上方的【自定義 SKU 設置】批量配置您的設置。目前，我們的補貨建議并未考慮數量限制，所以請在創建貨件之前注意查看【最大發貨數量】。

我需要在建議的發貨日期之前發送貨件嗎？

這些日期是我們根據各種數據估算的最佳發貨日期，可幫助您避免庫存不足或缺貨的情況。不過，您可以自愿選擇是否遵循我們建議的發貨日期。

我如何獲知哪些商品有數量限制？

在“補充庫存”頁面上，符合創建貨件要求但具有數量限制的商品會有【限量補貨】的標記。

亞馬遜如何計算我可以發送的限量補貨商品的數量？

我們會根據過去的銷量、當前庫存水平以及我們運營中心的可用倉儲空間來計算您可以發送的商品數量。

我怎樣確定自己可以發送多少商品？

要確定您可以發往運營中心的商品數量，請前往補充庫存頁面。在商品的供貨天數列中點擊顏色條上方的商品數量會打開一個彈出窗口，其中顯示有允許的最大貨件數量。

亞馬遜如何計算允許的最大貨件數量？

您可以發送的最大貨件數量等于最高庫存水平減去庫存限額使用量。

要查看商品的庫存限額使用量，請點擊供貨天數列中顏色條上方的商品數量，這會打開一個顯示有庫存限額使用量的彈出窗口。

庫存限額使用量表示您當前在亞馬遜持有的庫存水平，該值計入您的最高庫存水平，并可用于確定您可以發送的最大貨件數量。其中包括您的入庫貨件、待移除庫存和預留庫存。該值與彈出窗口中的供應值可能相同，也可能不同。

我可以申請提高商品的數量限制嗎？

我們目前不接受修改數量限制的請求。

為何我的某些商品沒有相應的補貨建議？

我們暫時不會為有【限量補貨】標記的商品顯示補貨建議。

如何從“補充庫存”頁面創建貨件？

在“補充庫存”頁面上，選擇 SKU 并點擊【創建入庫計劃】按鈕，即可創建貨件。要為多個 SKU 創建入庫計劃，請選中每個 SKU 左側的復選框，然后點擊【創建入庫計劃】。

確保您擁有創建貨件所需的用戶權限。您可以在賣家平臺的【設置】下查看和更新您的用戶權限。從下拉菜單中選擇【用戶權限】，確保已為【庫存規劃】啟用“查看和編輯”權限。

如何調整補貨設置？

您可以通過調整供應商交期和補貨頻率等商品級別的輸入信息來調整您的補貨建議。要更新特定商品的這些設置，請點擊【操作】列中的下拉菜單，然后選擇【自定義 SKU 設置】以前往 SKU 詳情頁面。您也可以點擊【補充庫存】頁面右上角的【商品設置】，批量配置您的設置。

為何“配置 SKU 設置”頁面的底部會看到一條提醒？

這可以提醒您某些可能會影響補貨建議相關性的狀況，例如：當多個賣家對某種商品報價，并且您的價格不是當前最低商品價格時，系統會顯示“您的價格不是最低商品價格”。

如何提供有關補貨建議或“補充庫存”功能的反饋？

歡迎您提供反饋，幫助我們改進庫存。您可以使用“補充庫存”頁面底部的【反饋】按鈕發送任意。

我希望我的供應商名稱保密。我必須輸入供應商名稱嗎？

不用，您可以輸入代表您的供應商的昵稱或代碼。這不會影響您所獲得的補貨建議的質量。

如何將 ASIN 標記為不可補貨？

您可以在“補充庫存”頁面的【操作】列中點擊【查看詳情】，然后選擇【隱藏建議】，以此表明某個 SKU 不可補貨。隱藏與一個 ASIN 關聯的所有 SKU，會將該 ASIN 從您的有存貨率計算和亞馬遜物流預計銷量損失中排除。

請注意，出于以下原因，隱藏可補貨的 SKU 不能有效提高 (IPI) 得分：

隱藏 SKU 不會直接改變您的 IPI 得分。
您所隱藏的 SKU 將不再顯示補貨建議。
亞馬遜物流庫存設置不準確可能會導致您錯過寶貴的補貨機會。

Restock Inventory
The Restock Inventory tool provides recommendations on products to restock, suggested replenishment quantities, and ship by dates. You can customize your restock recommendations by configuring your inputs, such as lead time and case pack quantities. The restock tool helps you keep track of your inventory levels so that you can maximize sales by meeting product demand while avoiding overstock situations.

Frequently asked questions
How does Amazon generate restock recommendations?
One of the keys to good inventory management is keeping the right amount of inventory in stock. This can be challenging, because the “right amount” varies based on future demand and the cost of carrying too much or too little inventory.
To help you overcome these challenges, Amazon has developed a sophisticated optimization model that calculates a suggested replenishment quantity, and ship date for your products. The quantity and date recommendations take into account your variable costs, expected revenue, and estimated future demand. The recommendations are intended to provide you with information you can use to balance the cost of running out of stock (lost sales) vs. the cost of carrying too much inventory (capital costs and storage fees) to help you get the highest return on your inventory investment.
Keep in mind that the model relies on your inputs and leverages an estimate of future demand to generate a restock recommendation.
Do I need to follow Amazon’s restock recommendations?
We encourage you to follow the recommended replenishment quantity and ship dates to avoid out of stock or low stock situations. Our recommendations take into account future demand forecasts and the product-level information you provide. Please fine-tune your restock recommendations by adjusting product-level information, such as seller and supplier lead times, and replenishment frequency. To update these settings for a particular product from the Restock Inventory page, select Customize SKU settings from the drop-down menu to the right. You can also configure your settings in bulk by clicking Customize SKU settings at the top right of the page. Currently, our recommendations do not take into account the quantity limits, so please note the Maximum shipment quantity before creating a shipment.
Do I need to send my shipments by the recommended ship date?
These dates are our best estimate of when to send in a shipment to help you avoid low stock or out-of-stock scenarios. However, it is always your decision whether or not to follow our recommended ship date.
How will I know which products have quantity limits?
Products that are eligible for shipment creation and have a quantity limit are marked with a Limited restock tag on the Restock Inventory page.
How does Amazon calculate the quantity I am able to send for limited restock products?
We calculate the quantity you can send based on past sales, current inventory levels, and the capacity available in our fulfillment centers.
How can I determine how much of my product I am able to send?
To determine how much you can send to a fulfillment center, go to the Restock Inventory page. In the Days of Supply column for your product, click on the units right above the color bar to open a pop-up window that contains your Maximum shipment quantity allowed.
How does Amazon calculate the maximum shipment quantity allowed?
Your Maximum shipment quantity equals your Maximum inventory level allowed minus Utilization.
To find utilization for your product, click on the units right above the color bar in the Days of Supply column to open a pop-up window that contains the Utilization number.
Utilization represents your current inventory at Amazon, which counts against your maximum inventory level and helps determine your maximum shipment quantity. It includes incoming shipments, inventory pending removals, and your reserved inventory. This may or may not match with the Inventory supply at Amazon number in the pop-up window.
Can I appeal for an increase in my product's quantity limit?
No, we are not accepting requests to modify quantity limits.
Why is a restock recommendation not available for some of my products?
Temporarily, we are not showing restock recommendations for products marked with the Limited restock tag.
How do I create a shipment from the Restock Inventory page?
You can create a shipment by selecting the SKU and clicking the Create shipping plan button. To create a shipping plan for multiple SKUs, check the box to the left of each SKU and then click Create shipping plan.
Make sure you have the right user permissions to create a shipment. You can check and update your user permissions in Seller Central under Settings. Select User Permissions from the drop-down menu, then ensure Inventory Planning has the “view and edit” permission enabled.
How do I adjust my restock settings?
You can fine-tune your restock recommendations by adjusting product-level inputs such as supplier lead time and replenishment frequency. To update these settings for a particular product, click on the drop-down menu in the Action column and select Customize SKU settings to be taken to the SKU Details page. You can also configure your settings in bulk by clicking Product settings at the top right of the Restock Inventory page.
Why do I see an alert displayed at the bOTTOm of the Configure SKU settings page?
Alerts let you know about certain conditions that may affect the relevance of your recommendations. For example: “You do not have the lowest-price offer” displays when there are multiple sellers with offers on a given product and you do not have the current lowest offer price.
How can I provide feedback about the recommendations or the Restock Inventory feature?
We welcome your feedback to help us improve our inventory management tools. Send any feedback by using the Feedback button on the bottom of the Restock Inventory page.
I'd prefer to keep my supplier’s name prie. Do I have to enter the supplier’s name?
No. You can enter a nickname or code to represent your suppliers. Doing this will not change the quality of your restock recommendations.
How do I flag ASINs as not replenishable?
You can indicate that a SKU is not replenishable on the Restock Inventory page by clicking View details in the Action column and selecting Hide recommendation. Hiding all SKUs associated with an ASIN will exclude the ASIN from your FBA in-stock rate and estimated lost sales.
Note that hiding replenishable SKUs is not an effective way to increase your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score for the following reasons:
Hiding SKUs does not directly change your IPI score.
The SKUs you hide will no longer display restock recommendations.
Inaccurate FBA inventory settings may cause you to miss valuable restock opportunities.
