Amazon FBA Reimbursement Tracker

Amazon loses your inventory, charges you incorrect fees, and most sellers never even notice — let alone file a claim to get that money back.

Track every lost, damaged, and misrouted FBA shipment — then file the right reimbursement claim before Amazon's 18-month window closes on money that's already yours.

That first sentence isn't a sales line. It's the exact situation thousands of FBA sellers are sitting in right now. Amazon's warehouse network processes millions of units daily, and inventory gets lost, damaged at check-in, miscounted, destroyed without authorization, or misrouted between fulfillment centers constantly. Amazon does reimburse for most of these cases — but only if you find them, document them, and file within strict time limits. The FBA Reimbursement and Lost Inventory Tracker Pro exists to make sure none of that money quietly disappears.

**What this tracker does for you — concretely:**

✅ **Surfaces every recoverable dollar.** The tracker is structured around Amazon's actual reimbursement case categories: lost inbound shipments, lost warehouse inventory, damaged inventory, customer return discrepancies, removal order shortages, and destroyed units. Every category has its own log so nothing falls through the cracks across 50, 500, or 2,000 active SKUs.

✅ **Kills the 18-month deadline panic.** Each claim row automatically calculates how many days remain before Amazon's reimbursement window expires. You see a live countdown on every open case — not a chaotic notes document you update once a quarter when you remember to panic about it.

✅ **Gives you a real-time recovery dashboard.** The built-in summary dashboard shows total claimed, total recovered, total pending, and your overall recovery rate by case type. You walk into every Seller Central session knowing exactly what you're chasing and what's already been won.

**Who this was built for:**

This tracker was designed specifically for Amazon FBA private label and wholesale sellers managing meaningful catalog sizes — think 50 to 2,000 active SKUs, potentially across multiple marketplaces or accounts. If you're running a serious FBA operation and you're still tracking reimbursement claims in a notes app, a Gmail label, or a shared Google Doc, this replaces all of that with a purpose-built system that scales with your business.

It is equally useful whether you handle reimbursements yourself or you're a VA or ops team member managing claims on behalf of a seller. The layout is clean enough to hand off without a training call.

**Inside the tracker — what you get:**

- **Claim Log Sheet** — One row per case, capturing ASIN, FNSKU, case ID, case type, units affected, Amazon's reimbursement estimate, your submitted amount, status, and open/close dates
- **Deadline Tracker Column** — Live day-count to the 18-month filing window, color-coded as deadlines approach
- **Multi-Marketplace Support** — Tag each claim by marketplace (US, CA, UK, EU, etc.) and filter your dashboard by region
- **Case Status Pipeline** — Track every claim through: Identified → Submitted → Under Review → Resolved → Closed
- **Recovery Dashboard** — Summary view showing total units lost, total dollar value at risk, amount claimed, amount recovered, and recovery rate — updated automatically as you log cases
- **COGS Reference Column** — Log your cost of goods per ASIN so reimbursement shortfalls are calculated against actual cost, not just Amazon's often-low estimate
- **Notes and Evidence Column** — Attach shipment IDs, reconciliation screenshots, or case correspondence notes directly in the row — no separate tracking document needed
- **Reimbursement Category Tabs** — Separate structured logs for inbound shipments, FC-to-FC transfers, customer return shortfalls, and destruction claims

**Works in Excel and Google Sheets — no macros, no installs.**

This template uses standard formulas only — no VBA, no macros, no add-ins. That means it opens cleanly in both Microsoft Excel (2016 and later) and Google Sheets without any compatibility issues. If your ops team works across both environments, there's nothing to configure. Download, duplicate, and start logging.

**Why this beats doing it manually:**

Right now, the alternative is opening Seller Central's reimbursement report, exporting it, cross-referencing it against your shipment records, manually calculating how many days you have left to file, and trying to remember which cases you already submitted. That process takes hours. It requires at least three separate data sources. It's easy to miss cases entirely, especially for older shipments close to the deadline window.

The FBA Reimbursement and Lost Inventory Tracker Pro consolidates all of that into a single working document. The average FBA seller with 200+ SKUs has unclaimed reimbursements sitting in Seller Central right now. Some studies put the average unclaimed amount for mid-size sellers at several hundred to several thousand dollars per year — money Amazon already acknowledges it owes you, just waiting for you to file.

At $19.99, this tracker pays for itself the moment it helps you catch one claim you would have missed.
