understand the flow for new inbound/fba/2024-03-20/inboundPlans
Hi Sellers,
I'm trying to understand the correct workflow for creating FBA shipments using the new SP-API endpoint (inbound/fba/2024-03-20/inboundPlans). I have some specific questions about handling used products via FBA.
Previous Workflow (V0):
- Could directly pass ASIN and custom SKU to create inbound plan
- No pre-listing requirement
- Simple workflow for used/new items
Example V0 payload (simplified):
{
"sku": "MY-USED-BOOK-01",
"asin": "B000123456",
"condition": "Used - Very Good",
"quantity": 1
// other fields...
}
Current Challenges (2024-03-20 API):
1. New API only accepts MSKU, no ASIN field in the payload
2. Getting error: "MSKUs are not valid" when trying to create plan
3. Documentation doesn't clearly explain the pre-requisites
Example new API payload:
{
"destinationMarketplaces": ["ATVPDKIKX0DER"],
"items": [
{
"labelOwner": "SELLER",
"msku": "MY-USED-BOOK-01",
"prepOwner": "NONE",
"quantity": 1
}
],
// address and other fields...
}
Questions:
1. What's the correct sequence of API calls to list a used item for FBA?
2. Do we need to create a catalog listing first? If yes, which API endpoint?
3. Is there a waiting period between listing and creating inbound plan?
4. How do we specify the condition (Used - Very Good, etc.) in the new workflow?
If anyone has successfully implemented this new workflow, I'd really appreciate:
- The sequence of API calls needed
- Sample payloads that work
- Any timing considerations between steps
- Best practices for handling used inventory
Thanks in advance for any help or insights!

Hi there @Seller_9ijqo1me2i1tR,
In general my understanding is there must be a listing before you can submit inventory to FBA as you need a MSKU that ties to an FBA Inventory location. I would recommend that you reach out to the Developer Support team to get the specific information you are looking for on how best to process Shipment creation via the SP-API. Thank you for your understanding.
