Authorized Distributors Invoice
How can I find out which vendor or distributor's invoice Amazon accepts?

You must supply invoices -- not receipts. When you contact a brand for their written permission to sell on Amazon, you need to ask for their authorized distributor(s).

You are going about it the wrong way.
Jungle Scout, Helium10 and other sites have lists BUT you need to go to the BRAND and ask for an LOA from the BRAND that allows you to sell on Amazon.
Once you have that, ask the BRAND who they use as authorized wholesale sources.
DO NOT trust any wholesaler to tell you the truth about being authorized or saying that they can give you permission to sell anywhere.
See this recent post for an eyeopening discussion about trusting a 'source'.

The distributor would have been provided to you by the brand owner after you contacted the brand owner to become an authorized reseller.

Hi there @Seller_UWIYCc7tG3T60,
Thank you for utilizing the seller forums!
How can I find out which vendor or distributor's invoice Amazon accepts?
While there is no list of distributors we do or do not accept invoices from, @Seller_Hi7wbO2Kbo6bl has provided the link to a great resource for the requirements Amazon needs invoices to meet.
Listed below are the requirements for sourcing documentation request:
- Copies of invoices, receipts or other similar documents that demonstrate where your products are produced or manufactured
These documents:
- Should reflect the sales volume of your product across all Amazon marketplaces in the last 365 days
- Should demonstrate your product’s full supply chain
- Should include contact information for the supplier(s) and the original manufacturer. We may contact suppliers or manufacturers to verify the documents
- Your documents should be able to trace your products to the original manufacturer even if you did not purchase them directly from the original manufacturer. This may require requesting additional invoices or supply chain documentation from your supplier if you are not sourcing directly from the manufacturer.
- You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible to enable adequate review of the documents you provide. For ease of our review, you may highlight or circle the ASIN(s) under review.
You will also want to consider the advise provided by @Seller_kIukTwdhvntAp, as vetting a supplier and ensuring they are authorized distributors of the brands you are looking into selling is just as important as the technical requirements of an invoice. In addition to vetting your supplier, I suggest you also consider the need for a letter of authorization or licensing agreement from brands as well.
If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to continue using this thread.
