Storage Limits

You can keep track of your Restock and Storage Volume limits while adding items to your batches in Stratify.

With this feature turned On, you can see the remaining total of items you're still able to list based on what you have On Hand, In Transit, and in the current batch being worked on.  This can be helpful to avoid issues with shipments not being able to be created if you are listing while getting close to these limits.

Edit Quantity - Clicking this option clears the message so you can change the quantity of units for the item before attempting to add it to the batch again.

Remove Item(s) - Clicking this option removes the item so it will not be added to the batch.

Continue with Item(s) - Clicking this option bypasses the message and adds the item to your batch with the current quantity.

As you work on a batch, the charts will update to reflect the number of units or cubic feet of each unit along with the remaining amounts you can add based on the values entered in your Settings.

The Storage Type and cubic feet for each item will also be available for reference on the Review Batch and Closed Batch pages.

Storage Limits FAQ

What qualifies as a Standard-size, Oversize, or Extra-Large item?

Amazon determines an item's size tier by its weight, dimensions, and volume.  Once you know those values for an item, use the tables from their help pages to find out its tier:

How to determine the product size tier

Extra-large FBA inventory

 

What happens if I try to create shipments for a Private Batch that will exceed my Storage Limits?

Amazon may return errors that will prevent you from creating all of your shipments.  For more information, please see:

Restock Limit Errors - SORTABLE, NON_SORTABLE, EXTRA_LARGE, and APPAREL

Storage Limit Errors - SORTABLE, NON_SORTABLE, EXTRA_LARGE, APPAREL, and FLAMMABLE
