Shipments (Subpage)
This section shows the shipments of an FBA inbound plan. Amazon splits a plan across one or more fulfillment centers; each shipment goes to one of them. The shipments are created when you choose Confirm Placement Option on the plan card – until then, the section is empty.

After Confirm Transportation, the plan is in the Transportation Confirmed step. Then open each shipment, download the box labels, send the tracking if you use your own carrier, and post the transfer shipment (see Shipping and Receipt).
