Review Summary

✅ Gorilla ROI pulls two AWD inbound reports: the shipment-level view (status, carrier, origin, destination, received quantity) and the item-level view (SKU, ASIN, packaging, dimensions per shipment).

✅ Use the Received Qty field to reconcile what you shipped against what Amazon confirmed receiving. Any discrepancy is a potential reimbursement or carrier claim.

✅ Data refreshes every 3 hours automatically. Gorilla ROI only reads your AWD data — we never write, update, or modify anything in your Amazon account.

Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) is Amazon's bulk storage and distribution service. Inventory ships to an AWD distribution center first, and Amazon replenishes FBA fulfillment centers from there automatically. Gorilla ROI pulls two AWD inbound reports: the shipment-level view and the item-level view.

What the AWD Inbound Shipments Report Covers

The AWD inbound shipments report gives you a row for every inbound shipment to an AWD distribution center. It covers shipment status, origin and destination addresses, carrier details, and the total quantity received.

This is the report to open when you need to know where a shipment is, whether it has been received, which carrier handled it, and how many units arrived.

What Sellers Use This For

Receiving reconciliation. Compare Received Qty against the quantity you shipped. Any discrepancy between what left your warehouse and what Amazon confirmed receiving is a potential reimbursement or carrier claim.

Shipment status tracking. Pull the report on a schedule and filter by Shipment Status to see which AWD inbound orders are still in transit, which are being received, and which are closed.

Carrier performance. Filter by Carrier Code Value and cross-reference with Ship By dates and Received Qty to identify carriers with consistent delays or quantity discrepancies.

3PL and supplier coordination. The Origin fields give you the source address for every shipment. If you use multiple 3PLs or suppliers, you can break down inbound activity by origin location.
