The problem

Manual template preparation

Manual SKU-to-package conversions waste time and cause errors that result in shipment rejections and re-work.

  • Converting SKU quantities to case-pack counts by hand takes 1–2 hours per shipment
  • Formula errors in Excel cause template rejections in Seller Central
  • Copying data between your plan and Amazon's template loses context
  • Any change to the plan means re-doing the whole template from scratch
  • Different team members produce inconsistent templates
The solution

Automated template generation

ShipmentPlanner exports plans directly to Amazon Shipment Templates — calculated from your plan, formatted for Amazon, ready to upload.

  • One-click .xlsx export: Click Export and download an Amazon-ready template file. Open it, verify the numbers, and upload directly to Seller Central — no editing needed.
  • Automatic SKU-to-case-pack conversion: ShipmentPlanner divides your SKU unit quantities by the case pack count stored in your SKU database. No formulas, no calculators, no mistakes.
  • Supports both SPD and LTL shipments: Whether you're sending small parcel delivery (individual boxes) or palletized LTL freight, the export adapts to the correct Amazon template structure.
  • Multi-destination shipments: When Amazon splits your shipment across multiple FBA destinations, ShipmentPlanner generates a separate template for each destination automatically.

Automatic SKU-to-case-pack conversion

ShipmentPlanner divides your SKU unit quantities by the case pack count stored in your SKU database. No formulas, no calculators, no mistakes.

Supports both SPD and LTL shipments

Whether you're sending small parcel delivery (individual boxes) or palletized LTL freight, the export adapts to the correct Amazon template structure.

Multi-destination shipments

When Amazon splits your shipment across multiple FBA destinations, ShipmentPlanner generates a separate template for each destination automatically.

Always in sync with your plan

Change a quantity, add an SKU, or swap a warehouse — then re-export. The template reflects your current plan exactly, every time.

How it works

Five steps to a ready-to-upload template

1

Enter SKU quantities

Add the units you want to ship for each SKU in your shipment plan. ShipmentPlanner pulls case-pack counts, dimensions, and FNSKU/ASIN data from your SKU database.

2

Plan gets optimized

Box counts are calculated from unit quantities. Pallets are arranged at the layer level. You see the complete plan — quantities, boxes, pallets — before any export.

3

Review and confirm

Check totals per SKU, per box, and per pallet. If Amazon split your shipment, each destination is shown separately. Make any last adjustments here.

4

Export the template

Click Export to Amazon Template. A .xlsx file downloads instantly. It matches Amazon's required column structure with all SKU and quantity data pre-filled.

5

Upload to Seller Central

Log in to Amazon Seller Central, start a new shipment, and upload the file. Amazon reads the data and creates the shipment workflow — no manual entry.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Amazon template export.

Which Amazon marketplaces are supported?

ShipmentPlanner generates templates compatible with all major Amazon marketplaces: amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.es, amazon.nl, amazon.pl, amazon.se, and amazon.com.be. The exported template uses the correct column headers for each marketplace.

What does the exported template look like?

The file matches Amazon's standard FBA Shipment Creation template format: one row per SKU with FNSKU, ASIN, condition, quantity in case, number of cases, and total unit quantity. You can open it in Excel to verify before uploading.

How does it handle case-pack vs. individual unit shipments?

If your shipment uses case-packed boxes (multiple units per box), the template fills in 'Quantity in case' and 'Number of cases'. For individual units, it fills 'Quantity in case' as 1. This is driven by the case-pack count stored in your SKU database for each product.

What happens when Amazon splits my shipment across multiple destinations?

After the template is processed by Amazon, they sometimes split shipments across multiple FBA centers. ShipmentPlanner accounts for this during planning — when you have a pre-approved split, separate pallet plans and templates are generated for each destination.

Can I edit the template after exporting?

You can, but it's not recommended — any manual edits will be out of sync with your ShipmentPlanner plan. If you need to make changes, update the plan in ShipmentPlanner and re-export. This keeps your records accurate and your warehouse instructions in sync.

What if Amazon changes their template format?

We monitor Amazon template updates across all supported marketplaces and update our export format to match. If a template change goes live and you run into an issue, email support@tradylon.com and we'll turn around a fix quickly.
