Amazon has varying channels that enable manufacturers to sell directly to consumers. The Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) option utilizes numerous Amazon distribution centers around the globe and is strategically used by many companies. Although Amazon does have stated GTIN policies, they also have proprietary identifiers, such as ASIN, and non-standardized processes.
The FBA program requires an Amazon-specific barcode FNSKU label. Each item sent to an Amazon distribution center requires an FNSKU so that it can be tracked throughout the fulfillment process. The required data for an Amazon FBA label can be located in a company’s Amazon Seller Central Account.
How To Access Amazon FNSKU Data Fields
FBA Labels are used to identify items that are set up/added in Seller or Vendor Central. This means that the required data for an Amazon FBA label can be located in a seller’s Amazon account.
- Go to Manage inventory to view all products
- To get the FSNKU column to populate, use the Preferences button on the top of the page
- Once enabled, the user should have access to FNSKU, Product Name, and Condition
