Amazon Inventory Performance Index Guide 2026

The Amazon Inventory Performance Index (IPI) measures how efficiently you manage FBA inventory. A score below 400 triggers storage limits. Here is how to fix it.

What the IPI measures

Your IPI reflects four metrics: excess inventory percentage, sell-through rate, stranded inventory, and in-stock rate for top sellers. Amazon updates it weekly.

7 steps to raise a low score

  1. Create removal orders for excess stock
  2. Run promotions to improve sell-through
  3. Fix stranded listings immediately
  4. Hold new shipments before quarterly evaluations
  5. Keep top sellers in stock
  6. Switch slow movers to FBM temporarily
  7. Set reorder alerts by days of supply
