Amazon MWS Documentation

UpdateInboundShipment

Updates an existing inbound shipment.

Description

The UpdateInboundShipment operation can add, update, and remove items from an existing inbound shipment. The existing shipment is identified by the ShipmentId. Each UpdateInboundShipment operation that you submit can include up to 200 items.

If you include the InboundShipmentHeader request parameter, it replaces the InboundShipmentHeader information for the shipment you are updating. Note that you can update the status of your inbound shipment by including the InboundShipmentHeader request parameter and changing the ShipmentStatus element.

If you include the InboundShipmentItems request parameter, the behavior is as follows:

  • Including an item that doesn't exist in the inbound shipment, as identified by the SellerSKU, adds the new item to the inbound shipment.
  • Including an item that already exists in the shipment, as identified by the SellerSKU, replaces the existing item. Note that if the new item that replaces the old item has QuantityShipped set to zero, this indicates that the item is removed from the inbound shipment.

Availability

This operation is available in all marketplaces except Brazil.

Throttling

The UpdateInboundShipment operation has a maximum request quota of 30 and a restore rate of two requests every second. For definitions of throttling terminology and for a complete explanation of throttling, see Throttling: Limits to how often you can submit requests in the Amazon MWS Developer Guide.
