Amazon Merchant Transport Utility program (AMTU)
We use Amazon’s Amazon Merchant Transport Utility program (AMTU), version 2.6.4.
Some of its features, which use the Marketplace Web Service API (MWS), will soon be discontinued.
Will Amazon be providing us with a new version of AMTU that uses the new Selling Partner API (SP-API)?
If not, how do we find a replacement for AMTU?

And all will be by the end of 2023 as things stand
As of yet nothing is announced.
My thoughts are that so few people still use it that Amazon won’t develop anything to replace it.
- Use a search engine to scour the internet for an application
or - Check the App Store: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/selling-partner-appstore/ref=xx_masdis_dnav_xx

Got a definitive answer from Seller Support:
Hello, my name is Jannio from Developer Services.
Due to its dependency on Marketplace Web Service (MWS), AMTU will lose access to the MWS Reports API after 8/31/2023., and will be fully deprecated along with MWS on 8/31/2023…
We suggest that you use available data on Seller Central directly by going to “Catalog” and then “Add Products via Upload” or that you migrate your usage to Selling Partner API (SP-API) for programmatic integration.At the moment we do not have a different solution that could replace AMTU however we suggest you periodically check the announcements throughout next year:https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/changelog
For more information about the MWS deprecation and migration to SP-API, go to the SP-API Migration Hub:

I am interested in writing a barebone replacement of AMTU. More likely than not, I will only write whatever features that I need, and fix bugs that only affect my need. If there’s enough interest, I can release it open source, though.
