If you encounter this error during FBA shipment creation:
ERROR: This product exceeds the allowed volume for SORTABLE storage
follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
✅ Step 1: Do NOT Delete Your Batch
The good news is:
your batch is still safe
your listings are still there
and you do not need to rebuild the batch.
Simply leave the batch as-is inside AccelerList.
📊 Step 2: Check Your Available Amazon Capacity
Inside Seller Central, go to:
Inventory Performance Dashboard → Storage Volume Monitor
There you can review:
current storage usage
available sortable capacity
inbound shipment limits
and shipment volume availability.
⏳ Step 3: Wait for Capacity to Become Available
Amazon may increase your available capacity when:
inventory sells
old inventory is removed
stranded inventory is resolved
or Amazon recalculates storage limits.
Sometimes capacity updates automatically after some time.
🔄 Step 4: Retry Creating the Shipment Plan
Once additional capacity becomes available:
Open the batch in AccelerList
Go to the:
Ship
tab
Click:
Retry Creating Plan
Amazon will then attempt to generate the inbound shipment again.
💡 Additional Tips
To free up capacity faster, you may:
remove excess inventory
improve sell-through rate
close stranded inventory
wait for existing inventory to sell
or reduce shipment quantity temporarily.
⚠️ Important Note
AccelerList cannot fully detect sortable capacity availability before shipment creation because Amazon only validates these limits during:
Inbound Plan Creation
✅ Summary
To fix the sortable storage error:
keep your batch
wait for additional Amazon capacity
then retry creating the shipment plan later.
