What Is It For?
Stranded inventory refers to items physically stored at Amazon fulfillment centers that cannot be sold because their associated listings are inactive, incomplete, or missing. This screen helps you identify:
- Which units are stranded
- Why they are stranded
- What action is required to resolve the issue
This inventory will not be fulfilled even if customer orders are placed — effectively locking up potential revenue.
Common Causes:
- Listing was deleted or suppressed
- ASIN mismatch or removed from Amazon catalog
- Missing SKU or fulfillment details
- Account or listing compliance issues (e.g. brand gating, missing attributes)
Hints And Tips!
- Amazon notifies you via Seller Central when stranded inventory is detected.
- If you don’t resolve the issue within 30 days, the inventory becomes unsellable and must be removed or disposed of.
- Use this screen to monitor and act on stranded units proactively, avoiding unnecessary removal fees or lost stock.
- All column headers are sortable
⚠️ Important: This report reflects real-time stranded inventory data directly pulled from the Amazon SP-API (getStrandedInventorySupply endpoint). We do not alter or enrich this data.
Unfulfillable vs. Stranded Inventory
| Stranded Inventory | Unfulfillable Inventory | |
|---|---|---|
| Listing status | Inactive, missing, or blocked | Listing is active |
| Inventory condition | Often still in good condition | Typically damaged, expired, or otherwise unsellable |
| Resolution | Fix the listing or relist | Remove, dispose of, or repackage based on Amazon options |

Additional Notes
- Stranded Inventory data comes from the SP-API endpoint
getStrandedInventorySupply, part of Amazon’s FBA Inventory API group. - SP-API access is near real-time, but latency can occur due to throttling or sync delays from Seller Central.
- Filters and Omni-Search can be used to find stranded SKUs by ASIN, tags, brand, status, or resolution type.
