- “Any FNSKU you use on a unit must be unique and must correspond to one unique product. For example, each assortment type, such as size or color, must have a different FNSKU.”
- Now, what is that bizarre combination of letters? The Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit is a scannable label which is a crucial tool for sellers to have their inventory efficiently packed, picked, and shipped.
- Each unit must have an exterior scannable barcode or label (which includes a scannable barcode and the corresponding human-readable numbers) that is easily accessible. For more information, see FBA product barcode requirements.
- Remove, cover, or render unscannable any existing scannable barcodes on the outside of shipping boxes. For example, cover existing barcodes with opaque tape or use a black felt-tip marker to render the barcode unscannable. This prevents incorrect barcode from being accidentally scanned during the receiving process.
