Up-to-date Processes, Efficient and Simple
Four changes! Enhance the stability of inventory management
1
Simplify! Eliminate additional restocking restrictions
Simplify the experience by combining replenishment limits and warehousing limits with a single Amazon Logistics warehousing quota, where a single limit per storage type will determine the amount of inventory a seller can send to and store in Amazon's operations centers.
2
Humanization! IPI exams become monthly!
The IPI examination has been changed to once a month, and the corresponding limits have been changed to once a month, and each quota is valid for one month.
3
Visualization! Three-month warehouse limit forecast
In addition to the confirmed storage capacity for the next month, Amazon will provide estimated storage capacity for the next two months. In addition, sellers will be able to break down capacity types by inventory status and capacity source (initial capacity or additional capacity requested).
4
Expandable! Additional capacity can be applied for
When the warehouse capacity is not enough, sellers can apply for additional capacity through the Warehouse Limit Manager, and sellers can submit up to 5 applications per month.

Seller's Frequently Asked Questions
1、What are the types of storage?
Amazon's logistics storage capacity is determined on the basis of storage types: standard size, bulky, apparel or footwear, oversized. Amazon accurately categorizes each product into a storage type based on weight and size, and sellers cannot adjust the storage type. To view the storage type and volume of a product, please visit the Amazon Logistics Inventory page.
Note: Flammable and aerosol storage limit adjustments are handled separately from other storage types.
2、I can't use up the capacity of my standard size, can I use it to exchange for other storage type capacity?
No. The capacity of each storage type assigned to you cannot be exchanged.
3. Does Multi-Channel-For-Flow (MCF) ordering have an impact on capacity constraints?
Multi-Channel Delivery orders are included in the calculation of a seller's past sales and expected sales, and this data is used to calculate the seller's warehouse capacity allowance. Sellers can see what capacity is available from multi-channel distribution sales in the Warehouse Dashboard.
4、How to optimize storage capacity and inventory management?
To maximize your warehouse capacity allowance, Amazon recommends:
1. Cancel shipments that are not intended for warehousing.
2、Improve the sell-through rate of Amazon Logistics (FBA) inventory.
3. Follow replenishment recommendations.
