- Amazon has divided Seller flex into two parts- First is when sellers are not using any kind of WMS and hence they have to use seller panel of flex. Second is when they are using any WMS and it is integrated with flex They call this channel as Seller Flex-Warehouse integration(SF-WI).
- In initial mode of working sellers have to separate the inventory, put ASIN’s barcode on such separated inventory and Amazon audits the same inventory physically when they visit the seller’s premises. Wherein the second mode of operation (SF-WI) sellers can use a common pool of inventory and no audits are required.
- Once seller migrates to any WMS (Seller Flex WI), they have to remove inventory from ongoing seller flex panel. This deactivates the older seller flex account and hence starts routing orders to new seller flex WI account.
- Inventory updated from UC against seller flex channel will not be visible on seller flex portal. However, to check the inventory sellers can cross-verify sellercentral.amazon.in account, where Amazon shows inventory against all mode of operations (flex, flex WI, FBA and dropship).
-
Dimension update on each listings will be done via Uniware. It is mandatory to update dimension and weight on each product linked with Flex listings.
- For processing orders, shipping package has to be updated correctly. Sellers can create those packages in Uniware which are being used at their end for processing.
- For Invoice and label pdf sorting you can use One Click Invoice & Label as Yes at channel setting page.
- Shipping Labels will be generated in ZPL format.
- Amazon invoices will be generated on Re-print invoice button.
