Weekly Lost and Damaged Inventory Check with Claude

Find lost or damaged FBA units Amazon never reimbursed, and spot upcoming stockouts

They say it finds the mismatches 'in about a minute' and that the tip 'saved me real money this year', though they don't say how much.

Per source From an Amazon forum moderator's answer, not an official policy page.

Copy-paste prompt

Copy-paste promptFrom the source
I'm attaching my Amazon Inventory Ledger and Reimbursements report for the last 60 days.
Which units did Amazon lose or damage that it never reimbursed? Give me a table: FNSKU, date, event type, quantity, reference ID, and whether a reimbursement matches. Only list units where the ledger clearly shows a loss or damage and no matching reimbursement.

This prompt is quoted or closely adapted from the original source. Replace anything in [brackets].

What they did

A seller downloads two Seller Central reports every week, the Inventory Ledger and the Reimbursements report, drops them into Claude and asks which units Amazon lost or damaged without paying them back. They file the claims from that list. They also ask Claude which products will run out in the next two weeks, using the FBA inventory report.

How it went

They say it finds the mismatches 'in about a minute' and that the tip 'saved me real money this year', though they don't say how much. They also say the stockout answer is 'better than my gut was'.

We only report what the source says. Results are self-reported unless noted.

Worth knowing

A forum post with no figures. Doing it weekly matters, because the seller points out that most of these claims now have a 60-day window. Check each flagged unit against the ledger yourself before you file.
