+Tracking lot/serial number products with FBA orders
+===================================================
+
+When selling products tracked by serial numbers or lots via the Fulfilled By Amazon :abbr:`FBA
+(Fulfilled by Amazon)`, Amazon's API does not send the specific serials or lots used for the sale.
+The lack of information prevents the Odoo Amazon connector from validating the necessary stock move,
+consequently stopping the creation of the :abbr:`Sales Order (SO)`.
+
+To enable product tracking using the Amazon :abbr:`FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon)` orders, the user must
+configure a :ref:`kit product <amazon_connector/fba/kit-product>` in Odoo and :ref:`manage stock
+replenishment <amazon_connector/fba/stock-replenishment>` for the product.
+
+Settings
+========
+
+The following apps are essential for the kit product workflow:
+
+- **Sales app**: Enables the :ref:`connection of an Amazon Seller account to Odoo <amazon/setup>`.
+- **Inventory app**: Allows for product tracking and replenishment by :ref:`warehouse location
+  <use_locations/configuration>` and through :ref:`lots and serial numbers
+  <inventory/product_management/enable-lot-serial>`.
+- **Manufacturing app** : Enables :ref:`BoM creation <manufacturing/basic-setup/bom-setup>` for
+  products and kit product stock replenishment through default operation type.
+
+.. _amazon_connector/fba/kit-product:
+
+Create the kit product
+======================
+
+To allow for accurate tracking, create a kit product to represent the Amazon listing. When a new FBA
+order syncs, Odoo sells the kit product, which triggers the consumption of the lot/serial
+number-tracked Amazon product, bypassing the validation error.
+
+Navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Products --> Products` and click :guilabel:`New`.
+Then :ref:`create a kit as a product <manufacturing/adv-configuration/kits>` that will represent the
+Amazon item. Select :guilabel:`By Quantity` option for :guilabel:`Track Inventory`.
+
+.. important::
+   **Never** use :guilabel:`By Lots` or :guilabel:`By Unique Serial Number` tracking for this
+   product.

+
+Link the Amazon item SKU
+------------------------
+
+Next, go to the :menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration --> Offers` and click :guilabel:`New`.
+Type in the desired amazon marekt in the :guilabel:`Marketplace` column and in the
+:guilabel:`Product` column, select the Odoo kit product. In the :guilabel:`Amazon SKU` column, enter
+the SKU for the desired Amazon item.
+
+.. image:: fba/link-amazon-sku.png
+   :alt: Example of a product linked to an Amazon SKU in the Offers page to be a kit in the Sales
+    app.
+
+Create the BoM for the kit product
+----------------------------------
+
+Navigate by to the kit product using :menuselection:`Sales app --> Products --> Products` and select
+the kit product. Click on the :icon:`fa-flask` :guilabel:`Bill of Materials` icon. :ref:`Create a
+kit BoM <manufacturing/adv-configuration/kit-bom>`.
+
+In the :guilabel:`Components` tab click :guilabel:`Add a line` and type in the name of the Odoo kit
+product.
+
+.. important::
+   The Odoo kit product **must** be the sole component of the kit.

+
+Stock replenishment
+===================
+
+Do not use standard internal transfers, WH/Stock to WH/Amazon, for Amazon FBA kit products. These
+transfers fail because the Amazon API does not support lot/serial number tracking. Additionally,
+Odoo incorrectly moves individual components instead of the kit itself, causing inventory errors.
+
+Use a :abbr:`MO (Manufacturing Order)` for replenishment instead. The following workflow ensures
+that stock adjusts correctly in the Amazon location.
+
+Create a second BoM to manufacture
+----------------------------------
+
+Navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Products --> Products`. Select the kit product and
+:ref:`create a second BoM <manufacturing/basic-setup/bom-setup>` and select the :guilabel:`BoM Type`
+as :guilabel:`Manufacture this product`.
+
+In the :guilabel:`Components` tab click :guilabel:`Add a line` and type in the name of the Odoo kit
+product.
+
+.. important::
+   The Odoo kit product **must** be the sole component of the kit.
+
+.. image:: fba/amazon-product-bom-manufacture.png
+   :alt: Example of the BoM manufacture type for the product kit to represent the Amazon listing.
+
+Create a Manufacturing Order (MO)
+---------------------------------
+
+The :abbr:`MO (Manufacturing Order)` consumes the lot/serial number-tracked Amazon listing from the
+main WH/Stock and "builds" the non-tracked kit product directly into the WH/Amazon location,
+correctly representing the Amazon FBA stock.
+
+Navigate to :menuselection:`Manufacturing app --> Operations --> Manufacturing Orders` and click
+:guilabel:`New`. Create a :ref:`new Manufacturing Order
+<manufacturing/one-step-manufacturing/create-mo>` for the desired quantity of the kit product.
+
+
+Click the :guilabel:`Miscellaneous` tab and hover over the :guilabel:`Operation Type` field. Click
+the :icon:`oi-arrow-right` :guilabel:`Internal link` icon when it appears to go to the default
+:guilabel:`Manufacturing` operation type.
+
+Click the :icon:`fa-cog` :guilabel:`Action` icon and select :guilabel:`Duplicate`. Rename the copy
+:guilabel:`Operation Type` to "FBA resupply". In the :guilabel:`Locations` section, select
+:guilabel:`WH/Amazon` from the :guilabel:`Destination Location` drop-down menu.
