โ ๏ธ Heads up, Amazon is deprecating a bunch of seller Inventory Reports at the end of January, both in the Console (see image) and the Amazon SP-API.
The Console reports will be replaced by a single ‘Inventory Ledger Report’ according to Seller Central’s alert (read on why this isn’t a great replacement).
There are equivalent deprecations happening in the ย Amazon Seller SP-API as follows: _GET_FBA_FULFILLMENT_CURRENT_INVENTORY_DATA_
_GET_FBA_FULFILLMENT_MONTHLY_INVENTORY_DATA_
_GET_FBA_FULFILLMENT_INVENTORY_ADJUSTMENTS_DATA_
_GET_FBA_RECONCILIATION_REPORT_DATA_
_GET_FBA_FULFILLMENT_INVENTORY_SUMMARY_DATA_
_GET_FBA_FULFILLMENT_INVENTORY_RECEIPTS_DATA_
They will also be replaced by two different reports, GET_LEDGER_SUMMARY_VIEW_DATA and GET_LEDGER_DETAIL_VIEW_DATA (even worse replacements of the mentioned reports)

๐ง If you’re relying on any of the inventory reports via the console or the Amazon Seller API, you’ll need to integrate the new consolidated report(s).

๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ However, in our research, we found that the new Ledger reports leave out some critical pieces of information. Not only do they obscure what’s actually on hand, they also don’t indicate the on-hand status of different inventory amounts (like fulfillable, reserved, inbound, researching, etc.). ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป’๐ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐’๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป’๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐.
