For 'individual item splits' pallet shipments:  
 

1. From the 'FBA Inventory' tab, select the items to ship and click 'Create Draft Shipment'.

   Tip!: In a draft shipment, you can:    Change an item's quantity by clicking on the 'Units' column Delete items by clicking on the red X Add new items in to your draft by clicking the '+ Add Items' button

   
   
    

3. The next step is to create a Working Shipment by clicking the 'Plan Shipping' button. This will show you all the different inbound shipping options available from Amazon. Compare them, choose the best one, and then press 'Create Shipment' to continue. 
   

   Tip!: To qualify for the 'Amazon Optimized Splits' shipping option, each SKU in your draft needs to have 5 or more units.* *The Amazon Optimized Splits' inbound option is only available in the US.

   
   
    

4. Once you've created a Working Shipment, you'll find it on the 'Working FBA Shipments' page. You can open it by clicking on the icon located next to the FBA ID #.
   
   
    
5. From inside your Working Shipment, prep and pack your products while using the software to generate item and box labels as you pack. 
    

   • To Pack Single-SKU Boxes: Scan or select an item from your list and click the 'Printer' Icon. 
     
     
     In the pop-up window, 'Print Item Labels' if needed, and then pack your items into boxes. When done, click 'Next' to tell the software how your items are packed. 
     
     
     Enter your box configurations and press the 'Print Box Labels' button to confirm your boxes  and print your labels. Attach the printed FBA Box Labels to your boxes. 
     

     Tip!: After packing your box and attaching the FBA box label, it is 100% complete. You can stack this box on an outgoing pallet, and move on to the next item.

      

   • To Pack Multi-SKU Boxes: To pack multiple items in the same box, click the 'Multi-SKU Box' button. 
     
     
     In the pop-up window, scan and item's barcode to add it to your box, or select which items to add manually by clicking the 'Search 🔍' button, and entering items and quantities. 
     
     
     When you are done packing your Multi-SKU box, press the 'Close Box and Print Box Label' button to confirm it, and then print the FBA Box Label and attach it to your box.

6. After printing box labels and making boxes, you are returned to the main shipment workflow. Here you can see that the item you just packed has turned green and dropped to the bottom of the list. This means that all units for that SKU in your shipment are now packed. 
   
   
   
    
7. You can see your completed boxes in the Box Content Menu located on the right-hand side of the screen. 
   
   
   
    

8. The next step in the process is to keep prepping and packing your items until all are packed, every SKU is green, and the Progress Bar reaches 100%. 
   

   Tip!: You can adjust item quantities in a Working Shipment by clicking into the 'Qty' column. Please note that Amazon only allows changes of up to 5% or 6 units (whichever is greater) per SKU.  Tip!: You can remove remove a SKU from your Working Shipment if it has 6 units or less. Please note that if you remove a product, you will not be able to add it back into that shipment. Tip!: In addition to making quantity adjustments SKU-by-SKU, as mentioned above, you can also press the 'Remove Unpacked Items' button. Pressing this button will remove any units not yet packed into boxes from your Working Shipment (within Amazon's limitations).

   
   
    

9. Once all items are packed, press the 'Complete Shipment' button on the Working Shipments page.
   
   
    
10. In the pop-up window, enter the contact information, select partnered or non-partnered carrier, enter your pallet information, and then press 'Add Pallets'. 
    
    
    Next, click 'Show Shipping Options'. 
    
    
    
     
11. In the 'Transport Options' section, select the 'Carrier' that you'll be using to ship to Amazon.
    
    If you are using an Amazon Partnered Carrier, you can browse the different shipping options and compare their prices. 
    
    
    When ready, press the purple 'Complete Shipment' button to complete your shipment. 
    
    
    
     

12. Your pallet shipment is now 100% complete. On the Working Shipments page, you'll notice a green checkmark ✔ indicating that your shipment is done and ready to ship. 
    
    
    You can print pallet labels on the Shipment Confirmation page after completing your shipment, or print them at any time from inside a Working Shipment by clicking 'Print Pallet Labels'.
    
    
    

    Important: For Non-Partnered Carrier shipments, you must complete one additional step by uploading your Tracking/Pro number to complete your shipment.  You can add your tracking number in the Shipment Confirmation window at any time by clicking 'Review Completed Shipment', entering the number, and clicking 'Submit Pro Number'.

    Important: For Non-Partnered Carrier shipments, fully complete your shipment in 2DWF before scheduling freight pick-up. Scheduling pick-up early may change your shipment status to In Transit, preventing completion. Amazon requires all shipments be fully completed before shipping, and only Working status shipments can be finalized.
