Overview
Removal orders are requests from your fulfillment partners, such as FBA and WFS, to return inventory to your warehouse for various reasons. You can seamlessly manage such requests via Skustack’s Removals module. Once a removal task has been placed in the fulfillment partner’s system, a Warehouse Inventory Transfer will be generated in Skustack. These inventory transfers are named after the removal order ID and can be received in a few simple steps. This process allows you to track the inventory’s movement history meticulously.
