Capacity Limits

You can keep track of your Capacity Limits while adding items to your batches in Stratify.

With this feature turned On, you can see the remaining total of items you're still able to list, based on what you have On Hand, In Transit, and in the current batch being worked on.  This can be helpful to avoid issues with shipments not being able to be created if you are listing while getting close to these limits.

Capacity Limits

With this turned On, the Capacity Limits charts will show at the bottom bar of the List & Prep page for Open Batches.

To use this setting, navigate to your Shipping Queue in Seller Central and click Capacity Monitor towards the bottom of the page (if needed) to view your totals.  Locate your Total capacity limit values for Standard-size, Large Bulky (Oversize)*, and Extra-Large items. These are subject to change monthly.

*Please note: The term Oversize has been replaced with Large Bulky, but you may still see Oversize references in the Capacity Manager. 

Enter the values for your current month into the corresponding fields in your Stratify settings.  Or, if you have no limit for a storage type, click the Unlimited checkbox next to it.

Note: You will not see Capacity Limits shown for batches on the List>List & Prep page when the Unlimited boxes are checked for all the available Capacity Limit size tiers in your Stratify settings.

Warn me when I go over a limit

With this turned On, you will see the following warning if you attempt to add an item to your batch that will take you over your Capacity Limit:

Edit Quantity - Clicking this option clears the message so you can change the quantity of units for the item before attempting to add it to the batch again.

Remove Item(s) - Clicking this option removes the item so it will not be added to the batch.

Continue with Item(s) - Clicking this option bypasses the message and adds the item to your batch with the current quantity.

Viewing Capacity Limits While Listing

When you turn on Capacity Limits in your settings, charts will become available at the bottom bar of the List & Prep page to track them as you work on Open Batches.

As you work on a batch, the charts will update to reflect the number of cubic feet of each unit along with the remaining amounts you can add based on the values entered in your Settings.

If you are close to reaching your set limits, the charts will change color from blue to orange to red.

The Storage Type and cubic feet for each item will also be available for reference on the Review Batch and Closed Batch pages.

Capacity Limits

Hovering over the Standard-size, Large Bulky, or Extra-Large (XL) Capacity Limit charts will display the cubic feet you currently have taken up for units on hand, In Transit, and in This Batch, and the Remaining amount you can still add based on the values entered in your Settings.

Note: These totals do not include items in "Working" shipments from other batches prior to them being shipped and reported as "In Transit" by Amazon.
