Upload your inventory file

When your bulk inventory file is complete, upload it by going to the Add Products via Upload page.

After you build or modify your inventory file, you are ready to upload the tab-delimited text (.txt) file. For more information, see Add your product information to an inventory file and Modify Your Inventory File.

Follow these steps to upload the file:

1. Under Inventory on Seller Central, click Add Products via Upload.
   Note: If you have a North America Unified Account, check the website selected in the Marketplace Switcher to make sure you upload inventory files to the correct website. Also, check your file to be sure the Quantity value is greater than 0 (zero) for listings that use a global SKU. If you change the quantity to 0 in one marketplace, the listing will be removed from all Amazon North America marketplaces.
2. Click the Upload your inventory file tab, and in the File type section, use the drop-down to select your file type.

   If you are using a product file to create new pages in the Amazon catalog, you will usually choose the first option for Inventory files for specific categories.

   Note: For Media Product files and Inventory Loader files, the upload box will contain additional options for shipping settings. For more information about using these options, see Ship BMVD Products.
3. If required, you can purge and replace your inventory. Submitting an inventory file in purge and replace will delete all of your listings and subsequently add the listings provided in your submitted file.

   Under Purge and replace your inventory section, click Browse next to File Upload and select the tab-delimited text file (*.txt) you created earlier.

4. After you select your file, click Purge and Replace. When you upload your file, a status box confirms that your file has been received.

The Monitor upload status displays the date, time, batch ID, status, and link to the processing report of your most recent completed uploads. If your inventory file upload has not completed processing, the Upload status column shows the status as In progress.

You can click the Monitor upload status tab to refresh the page and see the latest status. After your file is processed, the Upload status column shows updated information, along with the Actions available. For more information on understanding the results of your upload, see Review my inventory results.

If any products are not activated due to errors, click the View processing report link to download the associated processing report. Use this report to diagnose and correct errors in the file you uploaded. When you are ready to upload the edited file, click the Return to upload page link, and re-upload your file. Go to Review processing reports to learn more.
