What Makes the IDR Portal a Game-Changer?

Imagine having a crystal ball for your inventory. This portal is like your personal inventory detective, offering insights that can save you time and money. Here's what you'll discover:

Comprehensive Tracking: Get the full story behind each inventory issue, from warehouse mishaps to customer returns.

Detailed Insights: Understand exactly what happened, when it happened, and why.

Reimbursement Opportunities: Identify potential recovery chances you might have missed before.

The portal doesn't just show you problems - it gives you a roadmap to solve them. You'll see the type of issue, its creation date, actions taken, and the current status of your claim. It's like having a forensic accountant dedicated to your inventory.

How to Access Your New Inventory Ally

Getting started is simple. Log into your Seller Central account, navigate to the Inventory dropdown, and select Inventory Defect and Reimbursement. Want another way in? You can also access it through the Reimbursements report for an alternate route.

What's Not Covered

Keep in mind that the portal has a few limitations. It doesn’t track missing inbound inventory, provide details on item removals, or include information about warehouse disposals.

Turning Insights into Action

This isn’t just another dashboard—it’s a powerful tool for safeguarding your bottom line. By regularly checking the IDR Portal, you can identify patterns in inventory issues, understand potential vulnerabilities, and even recover lost funds.
