Flat File

Before you can upload a flat file, you have to download it, you can use the Category Listings Report or by downloading it from Download an Inventory File

Once you’ve logged in to your Amazon Seller Central account, click on ‘Add Products via Upload.

Now you’ve got to find the inventory file that’s relevant to the product, there’s lots of different flat files depending on what category the product falls in. If for example we choose dog collars, type that into the search field and click on ‘Search’:

Bear in mind you’ve got to select the correct category from the search by clicking on the Select:

In this case we’ve selected basic collars, so if you scroll down the page you will see this selected, then proceed to click the ‘Generate Template’ button:

It then creates an excel flat file which you can download.

Rule of thumb!

If you are only told to update a certain attribute, only fill in the SKU, the attribute that you need to change, the fulfillment center and only use partial update.

In the sample below, we are only updating the title of a product which is an FBA listing in Partial Update.

However, if you are going to do a Full Update, it is recommended to download the flat file through the category listings report and double check each piece of information before proceeding with the upload.

Unlike with the Partial Update, it is important that all required columns are filled in with the information.

For Full Update

NOTE:

1. We must ask for the client's permission to upload a full update feed file. Reach out to the POC or the client and ask for their permission. Explain why it is needed.

2. Before uploading the full update feed file, you need to submit it to the team leader for QA.

Go to Inventory > Inventory Reports and Download the category listings report 

Once Category Listing Report is downloaded, open the downloaded file then go to the “Review” section and click “Unprotect sheet”. Turn on the filter and locate the listing that you are going to update (SKU) by searching it through the Seller SKU column.

Note: Make sure not to include other listings that is not part of your task

Double check each piece of information before proceeding with the upload.

Once your file is complete, save it and upload it to Amazon, by clicking on ‘Check and Upload your Inventory File’:

You will then see the following screen:

Wait until the inventory file is processed +15 mins and make sure it is uploaded successfully and keep the BATCH ID
