Where can I see low inventory fees? Where is the report?
I just got a message saying I was credited about 600$ for low inventory fees...
That's real bad. I have been on top of things lately to make sure it would be as close to 0 as possible...
I need to find how these fees were charged for which ASINs and analyse everything further.
HOWEVER, I have no clue how to see those fees and find for which ASINs / orders they were charged.
I've seen someone mention a report on the forum once, I looked for it everywhere for a good 30 minutes but couldn't find it.
SO.... can someone tell me which report I need to look into and where I can find it in Seller Central?
Thanks!

My teammate Dom_Amazon posted instructions on where to find that report in an earlier thread: where I can find the actual "low inventory fees". It is available in therecently launched SKU Economics report.

I downloaded the report, checked as many cases / options as I could to get as much details as possible but cannot find anything related to "low inventory fees".
Can you tell me the name of the column in wich those fees are contained?
Thanks!

The reimbursement for low inventory fee shows up as an "Other" credit. We saw ours dated June 3rd.
KJ_Amazon
Amazon extended the low-inventory-level fee transition period to May 14, 2024.
Low-inventory-level fees incurred for units shipped between April 1 and May 14 were credited back on May 31. Please check your transactions for a matching "Other" credit applied on May 31 / June 1.

Hi @KJ_Amazon
Now that I'm able to see which ASIN have been charged low inventory fees, I need your help:
One of my best sellers is also a HAZMAT ASIN.
I sell around 400-500 units every 90 days. However, I can barely keep 50-60 units in stock at once due to the extremely low inventory limit. Despite requesting an increase multiple times, I’ve been told that they can’t increase any seller’s HAZMAT space at this time regardless of sales volume.
As a result, I’m forced to send a shipment EVERY WEEK for this ASIN, shipping as much as my inventory limit will allow. This is a real pain. These are small items, and I could easily ship 300-400 units at once, but instead, I have to make small shipments of 50 units at a time weekly.
And now, to make matters worse, I’ve just realized they’re charging me HUNDREDS in low-level inventory fees for this ASIN. I LTTERALLY cannot ship enough units to cover 90 days! THEY WON'T LET ME!
Please tell me how this is fair. No amount of mental gymnastics can justify this. This HAS to be an oversight.
Thanks for looking into this!

Amazon doesn't care. At the end of the day they just want to make money off of you as a seller on their platform. With all these additional fees being introduced and implemented lately, we're getting off Amazon. They made sure to charge you fee no matter what you do.
If you sell out too quickly, Fee.
If you store inventory, Fee
If you store inventory for too long, Extra Fee.
This is the worst micro management I've seen for years.

To see which ASINs are subject to a low inventory fee, just look at your FBA inventory
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/inventoryplanning/manageinventoryhealth?ref_=myi_mih_vl_fbaknights
Then sort by the low inventory fee column

Yes -- indeed it is. The "problem" with Amazon is that the programming and business teams don't work together. So, this kind of thing happens.

Here is where you find the refund. Follow these steps: You will NOT find the refund on the SKU Economics Report like the Amazon mod states.
1. Go to payments then select the Transaction View tab.
2. Select Standard Orders under the Account Type drop down menu.
3. Select "Other" under the Transaction Type drop down menu.
4. Select custom dates and put in 5/31-6/3 and click "Update"
You should see a refund in blue print. This is your refund for the Low Inventory Fees.
Hope this helps! :)
