Removal decisions: keeping an evidence record

Record the affected units, expiry information, destination and approved next step.

BareGold1 min read

A removal decision needs a destination and a handling plan as well as an account request. This is especially important for products with expiry dates, special storage needs or uncertain condition.

Prepare the decision log

  • Identify the seller store, SKU and stock condition shown in the account.
  • Record the affected units and expiry lots from current account records.
  • Confirm who will receive the goods and whether that location can handle them.
  • Obtain the current cost information for the available disposition choices.
  • Write the proposed next step and keep it pending until the responsible person gives the OK.

Amazon provides an aged-inventory reference and a separate liquidations reference. Review the relevant account instructions; do not assume every product qualifies for the same route.

Follow the movement to completion

Save the request identifier, account status and receiving evidence. Reconcile any difference between requested units and the goods actually received or disposed of.

A warehouse should inspect condition and expiry before deciding whether returned stock can be used. Retain that inspection separately from the original Amazon request so the decision is supported by the goods' actual condition.
