Getting Started with Amazon FBA Inbounds

Getting Started

• Ensure that you have a Pipe17 account created
• Make sure you are licensed to use the Pipe17 Amazon FBA Inbounds Connector. If you're not certain, reach out to your Pipe17 rep

Connector Setup

Get connected to the Amazon FBA Inbounds connector

• • In Pipe17, go to the "Integrations" tab on the left side of your Pipe17 portal, and click "Add Integration"
  • Select the Amazon FBA Inbounds connector
    • 
  • Input your marketplace
  • If you have access to multiple Seller Central accounts, make sure you are logged into the correct one. Click the "Connect" button, and if prompted, log into the Amazon Seller Central account you want to connect.
  • A Seller Central window will open in your browser, prompting you to Authorize Pipe17. Click "Confirm" to give Pipe17 the requested Amazon Seller Central Account permissions.
  • Once credentials are successfully entered, and the connector status shows "Connected" click over to the "Settings" tab within the connector. Step through the settings below 

Settings configuration

Enabling and disabling flows can be configured with the options at the top of the settings page. The settings on the bottom portion of this page are more specific configurations for each flow

Follow for our suggested setup process for most common use cases

1. Pull receipt information from Amazon
   • Pulls in receipts available after the last successful pull. Receipts are processed each hour based on presence of expected or partially received arrivals in Pipe17
2. Pull FBA inbound orders from Amazon and use them to create Pipe17 Transfer orders
   
   • Pulls transfer orders available since last successful pull from Amazon
   • Specific settings (bottom half of same page)
     •  Filters:
       • Use the date filter in section below to input a date if something other than the date the connector was installed is required. This will tell Pipe17 to only pull from that date onward
       • Option to use the filter below this to input a specific order ID for Pipe17 to pull instead of allowing all orders since the date to be ingested
     • Process FBA inbound orders if transportation option is not selected
       • By default, we don't pull orders until the transportation / carrier info is selected
     • Process FBA inbound orders if source location or destination address cannot be resolved
       • While pulling FBA inbound orders, Pipe17 will resolve source and destination locations for such order. If resolution can not be performed (e.g. locations are not configured, missing or ambiguous), then by default Pipe17 will not pull the order. However if this switch is enabled, order will be pulled and assigned Draft status - to indicate that proper locations information will have to be provided by user
     • Automatically mark created transfers as fulfilled when source location is not linked with the fulfillment channel
       • When this mode is enabled, FBA inbound order will be marked as fulfilled and ready to collection of receipt information. Use this mode when fulfillment of FBA inbound is done outside of Pipe17
3. Pull locations from Amazon
   • Cannot be disabled once enabled, but should always be enabled to allow Pipe17 to see locations/warehouse list from Amazon
