The Amazon Delivered Shipments to NetSuite Item Receipt flow, part of the Transfer Order - InboundShipments add-on for the Amazon MCF - NetSuite integration app, tracks the stock you ship to Amazon. When Amazon receives a shipment, in part or in full, the flow creates item receipts in NetSuite on its schedule and links them to the matching transfer orders. This article covers how delivery status flows back to NetSuite, and how to configure and run the flow.
Prerequisites: Set up the inbound shipment plan and inbound shipment flows as described in Sync NetSuite transfer orders to Amazon inbound shipments. In NetSuite, also add the Adjust Inventory permission to the role that the integration app's NetSuite connection uses.
How item receipts sync
After you pack and ship the items to Amazon according to the shipment plan, Amazon updates the shipment status. When Amazon starts receiving the stock, the status changes from Working to Receiving. When everything arrives, it changes to Delivered. For more about these statuses, see shipment status at Amazon in Amazon Seller Central help.
The flow creates item receipts for partially or fully delivered shipments and links them to the matching child transfer orders. When a shipment is fully delivered, NetSuite changes the transfer order status to Received.
- The inventory moves from the source location to the transit account, and stays there until item receipts are created for the transfer orders.
- When Amazon receives fewer units than you sent, the flow creates partial item receipts in NetSuite.
- NetSuite doesn't allow partial item receipts to be imported if Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management is turned off on the NetSuite Enable Features page. This also applies to the item types that transfer orders support.
Configure and run the item receipt flow
- Open the Amazon MCF - NetSuite integration app, and go to Flows > Shipments (TO).
- Turn on Amazon Delivered Shipments to NetSuite Item Receipt.
- Go to Settings > Shipments (TO) > Item Receipt.
- For Inbound Shipment status in Amazon, select one or more statuses. Only shipments with a selected status generate item receipts in NetSuite.
- Select Save.
- Run Amazon Delivered Shipments to NetSuite Item Receipt, select the date from which to generate item receipts, and then select Run.
To use item aliases on item receipts, see Map item aliases and case pack quantities on transfer orders.
Find the item receipts in NetSuite
Depending on the shipment, the flow creates one or more item receipts in NetSuite. Each item receipt is linked to its child transfer order under Related Records.
If some shipments don't get item receipts on scheduled runs, see Missing item receipts in scheduled runs.
