Definition

What is FBM order routing?

FBM order routing means choosing which warehouse ships each merchant-fulfilled Amazon order, buying the label, getting the order into the pick queue and confirming tracking to Amazon before the ship-by date. This module does that for every new FBM order and sends the problem orders to an analyst.

How it runs

Five steps. Four run on their own.

Step 4 waits for an analyst. The other four run on a schedule or a trigger and write every action to a run log.

  • Runs on its own
  • Waits for a person
  1. Step 1, Automated New FBM order Order arrives from Amazon through SP-API.
  2. Step 2, Automated Route Pick the warehouse by stock on hand and ship-by date.
  3. Step 3, Automated Queue label Buy the label and push the order to the pick queue.
  4. Step 4, waits for a person: Analyst Analyst checks Bad addresses, stock conflicts and late orders.
  5. Step 5, Automated Confirm Tracking uploads to Amazon before the deadline.

Your Autopilot Build turns these steps into a written spec for your accounts: triggers, rules and approval points.

What stays with a person

Address problems, stock conflicts and late shipments go to an analyst.

  1. Analyst Step 4 of 5 Analyst checks

    Bad addresses, stock conflicts and late orders.

Everything else in the flow runs on its own and is logged. You can make any rule stricter. We do not make money or listing rules looser.

Rules on every module

  • Anything that spends money or changes a listing waits for your approval.
  • Anything unusual goes to an analyst instead of being acted on.
  • Every action is written to a run log you can read.
  • One switch stops every workflow.
  • Official APIs only. No scraping and no browser automation of Seller Central.
