Create an FBA inbound shipment plan via the SP-API Fulfillment Inbound API (v2024-03-20)

domain: amazon-sp-api · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Use the current Fulfillment Inbound API version `2024-03-20`; the legacy v0 API has been deprecated and migration is required for new integrations.
  2. Call `POST /inbound/fba/2024-03-20/inboundPlans` (createInboundPlan) with the source address, destination marketplace ID, contact information for partnered carrier LTL shipments, and an items summary array (MSKU, quantity, prep and label owner).
  3. The call returns an `operationId`; poll `getInboundOperationStatus` with that operation ID until `operationStatus` reaches `SUCCESS` to retrieve the `inboundPlanId`.
  4. Call the placement options workflow: `generatePlacementOptions` → poll for completion → `listPlacementOptions` → `confirmPlacementOption` to get final shipment IDs.
  5. Generate labels and packing details using `generateShippingLabels` after confirming placement; the `shipmentConfirmationId` (e.g., FBA1234ABCD) is the identifier printed on box labels, distinct from the internal shipment ID.
  6. Track rate limits: `createInboundPlan` allows 2 requests per second with a burst of 2; build your workflow scheduler accordingly.
