The Inventory Values page in Link My Books gives you a clear summary of your month-end FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) inventory values. It's a handy tool for tracking the total value, units, and unique SKUs of your products stored in Amazon's fulfilment centres, which is crucial for accurate accounting and financial reporting.

You can find this page by navigating to Inventory > Inventory Values in your Link My Books account.

What Data Powers This Report?

Link My Books creates your Inventory Values report using data from the Amazon Monthly Inventory History report.

You can access this source report directly from Amazon Seller Central by going to: Reports > Fulfilment by Amazon > Inventory > Inventory Ledger.

We specifically use all your sellable inventory data from this Amazon report to generate your accurate Month-End Inventory Report within Link My Books.

There's also an option to view your inventory broken down by country. This data, relevant for FBA sellers, is described by Amazon as a tab-delimited flat file. It provides historical monthly snapshots of your available inventory in their fulfilment centres, including average and end-of-month quantities, locations, and disposition, with content updated daily by Amazon.

How to Use the Inventory Values Reports

The Inventory Values page offers both a summary view and a detailed breakdown for each month.

Summary Report View

The summary page gives you a high-level overview of your month-end inventory, including:

  • The total value of products you have at Amazon warehouses.

  • The total number of units.

  • The total number of unique SKUs.

If you haven't entered product costs for all SKUs in a report, you'll see an orange exclamation mark (⚠️) in the Product Costs Entered column for that month.

Link My Books dashboard showing the “Month End Inventory Valuation Reports” section. Two months are listed: June 2025 and May 2025. Both months show a value of $0.00, but differing total units and SKUs. An orange warning icon indicates missing product costs, and each entry has an “Action” dropdown.

To fix this, just enter your missing product costs on the Product Costs page. Once you've done that, a blue checkmark (✅) will appear, confirming all costs are accounted for.

Detail Report View

Each month's inventory report can be viewed in more detail. Simply click the "View" icon (often a magnifying glass or eye symbol) in the action column next to the summary entry for the month you want to look at.

The detailed report will show a comprehensive SKU-level breakdown for that specific month.

Detailed inventory report for June 30, 2025. Lists four SKUs with product titles, unit counts, landed costs, and total values. All products show a landed cost of $0.00 and total value of $0.00. The grand total at the bottom confirms 7 units valued at $0.00. A blue “Download” button appears at the top.
