To help streamline the inventory process in our fulfillment centers, we provide notifications to sellers in the
Shipment summary page when inbounding problems occur. You can review, acknowledge, and resolve these problem notifications as described below.
Resolve the problem
If we suspend your shipping capabilities due to an inventory shipment issue, you can apply for the restoration of shipment creation privileges for that product by either acknowledging the problem or, if applicable, submitting a dispute request.
Acknowledge the problem
Follow the steps below to acknowledge problems in Seller Central.
-
On the Shipping Queue page, in the first column, click "View problems" for a shipment with problems.
-
On the Shipment summary page, go to the Problems tab to see specific shipment- or product-related problems.
-
Click the View Details button for an affected item. In the Problem reported tab of the pop-up window, you will see a description of the problem and how to avoid it in the future. If images were captured for your product, they will also be shown here.

To finish, click the Acknowledge button.
If you try to add a suspended product to a shipping plan on the Manage Inventory page, you will receive an error message if you have not acknowledged the problem.
On the Manage Inventory page, click Resolve Now to review and acknowledge the problem.
Note: We remove suspensions once you acknowledge the product or shipment with problems.
