How do I reconcile FBA removal units requested, shipped, and disposed?
Balance seller-supplied FBA removal-order quantities, keep in-process units visible, and separate arithmetic mismatches from stale or conflicting statuses before a human reviews the current order in Seller Central.
Freeze the removal-order scope and source rows
Export or normalize the current Removal Order Detail rows for one marketplace and preserve the removal order ID, line reference, SKU or FNSKU, request date, last update, status, requested quantity, cancelled quantity, shipped quantity, disposed quantity, in-process quantity, and supplied fee. Do not merge different orders because they share a SKU. Keep duplicate-looking lines until their source references and quantities have been checked.
Write one explicit unit equation
For each row, calculate accounted units as cancelled plus shipped plus disposed plus in process, then subtract that total from requested units. A positive variance means requested units remain unaccounted for in the supplied row; a negative variance means the outcome quantities exceed the request. Zero is arithmetic balance only. It does not authenticate the export, confirm receipt, or establish that each disposition is correct.
Evaluate quantity and status independently
A completed status with a nonzero variance is a status conflict. A processing status with an exact balance can still be open, while cancelled or completed rows can remain legitimate even when no units shipped. Preserve the marketplace's source wording and classify status conflicts separately from mismatches. Do not rewrite an unfamiliar status into a familiar bucket merely to make the order look resolved.
Use age to rank review, not to invent a deadline
Calculate days since request and days since the supplied last update, then compare them with a seller-chosen stale-review threshold. Prioritize nonzero variances, status conflicts, and old in-process quantities while retaining recently updated work. A local threshold is an operations reminder, not an Amazon policy window, service-level promise, case deadline, or evidence that the order will not finish.
Trace exceptions into current evidence
For each queued row, verify the live order status and relevant Removal Shipment Detail, carrier or receiving evidence, disposal record, fee line, prior support case, and inventory-ledger movement. The reconciliation does not establish that Amazon owes money, that a fee is wrong, or that a reimbursement is eligible. Friday does not cancel or update a removal order or open a case; those remain reviewed human actions based on current evidence.
