Hello!
I’m having trouble matching up individual TransportContent PackageList members (Physical FBA inbound boxes shipped from a seller to Amazon) under a single inbound ShipmentId returned from a GetTransportContent call, to individual InboundShipmentItem members (Singular or multiple product SKUs to be shipped to Amazon for FBA intake) returned from a ListInboundShipmentItems call.
My goal is to use this data to get as close as possible to calculating the per-SKU cost of an InboundShipment. Only the total cost for all boxes is returned in the header of the GetTransportContent call, and while I can get close to calculating the cost for each box by factoring in its size and weight, I see no way to determine what SKUs/products are in that box to be able to spread the cost over each product.
As an example, here’s a mock response from a ListInboundShipmentItems call:
<ListInboundShipmentItemsResponse xmlns="http://mws.amazonaws.com/FulfillmentInboundShipment/2010-10-01/">
<ListInboundShipmentItemsResult>
<ItemData>
<member>
<QuantityShipped>1</QuantityShipped>
<ShipmentId>FBA123ABC456</ShipmentId>
<PrepDetailsList>
<PrepDetails>
<PrepOwner>SELLER</PrepOwner>

</PrepDetails>
</PrepDetailsList>

</PrepDetails>
</PrepDetailsList>
<FulfillmentNetworkSKU>X123ABC003</FulfillmentNetworkSKU>

<QuantityReceived>2</QuantityReceived>

</ItemData>
</ListInboundShipmentItemsResult>
<ResponseMetadata>
<RequestId>58d52e4a-aee7-4ef7-acda</RequestId>
</ResponseMetadata>
</ListInboundShipmentItemsResponse>
And then a response from a GetTransportContent call for the same ShipmentId:
<GetTransportContentResponse xmlns="http://mws.amazonaws.com/FulfillmentInboundShipment/2010-10-01/">
<GetTransportContentResult>
<TransportContent>
<TransportHeader>
<SellerId>REDACTED</SellerId>

<IsPartnered>true</IsPartnered>

So, I have a InboundShipment with 3 SKUs (4 total product quantity) and 2 physical boxes, but no way to know what products went in which box.
I tried looking through all the Amazon FBA Reports as well, but did not find anything there that would help.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hello,
When I was coding something similar I ran into the same issue. I decided to keep track of what went in each box at the point where I received a response from a “Create Inbound Shipment” and prior to doing a “Put Transport Content.”
I realized that I was providing box dimension and weight information and even information about 1 item from a SKU going to one location and 1 to another; however, at no time did I provide information on what went in each box. Since I didn’t provide SKU per box level information I stopped looking for that information when I did a GetTransportContent.

Hello,
I just recalled that I capture box content at the point where I did a POST FBA INBOUND CARTON CONTENTS, but I still didn’t have the same information returned when I did a Get Transport Content.
