Amazon to Retire Global FBA Inventory Report by December 27, 2024
New FBA and AWD Inventory Reports Aim to Streamline Seller Experience and Improve Accuracy
Amazon sellers note that the e-commerce giant is significantly changing its inventory reporting tools by retiring its Global FBA Inventory report on December 27, 2024. This update, announced on Seller Central, is part of an ongoing effort to simplify inventory management and help sellers access data more efficiently. While no direct action is required, knowing what’s changing and how to use the remaining reports can help you stay ahead of the curve.
Why Amazon Is Retiring the Global FBA Inventory Report
Amazon has stated that it is retiring the Global FBA Inventory report to enhance the overall inventory management experience. By focusing on more comprehensive and centralized tools, Amazon aims to reduce confusion and allow sellers to work more effectively with detailed, up-to-date inventory data.
What Sellers Need to Know
Although the Global FBA Inventory report will soon be gone, the information it provided won’t vanish. Sellers will still have access to the FBA Inventory report, a simplified yet robust tool that offers quick visibility into all their Fulfilled by Amazon products. With a few clicks, sellers can review their available stock and sold units and even identify slow-moving items.

Accessing the FBA Inventory Report
Accessing the FBA Inventory report is straightforward.
1. Go to the “Reports” section on Seller Central.
2. Select “Fulfillment.”
3. On the left sidebar, under “Inventory,” choose “Manage FBA Inventory.”
This user-friendly report helps sellers understand their current stock levels, helping them make informed decisions about restocking, promotions, and other inventory-related strategies.
Amazon’s Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) Inventory report is an excellent resource for those requiring more detailed information. This tool provides real-time data, combining AWD and FBA inventory insights. Sellers can quickly see how many units are available and how many are in transit and can download all SKU-level data in one convenient place.
Accessing the AWD Inventory Report
1. Go to “AWD Inventory” on Seller Central.
2. Look to the right side of the page and find “AWD reports.”
3. Select the “AWD Inventory report” from the drop-down menu.
Doing so will give you a clearer picture of your total supply chain. This information can be vital for making decisions related to restocking, storage options, and sales forecasting.
The retirement of the Global FBA Inventory report might seem like a shift, but it’s part of Amazon’s broader plan to help sellers run their businesses more smoothly. With cleaner, more focused reporting tools, sellers can identify trends faster, adjust pricing strategies, and anticipate supply issues before they become problems.
As December 27, 2024, approaches, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the new reporting tools. Although the Global FBA Inventory report will no longer be available, the enhanced FBA Inventory report and the AWD Inventory report promise better insights and improved inventory management. By leveraging these resources, Amazon sellers can remain competitive, efficient, and prepared in an ever-changing marketplace.
