Sending too much inventory to FBA
Amazon has been asking me to send inventory, giving me recommendations, telling me I have about 30 days worth inventory, I sent my inventory then boom, sales goes down and inventory is now enough for 130 days .:) it is now becoming easier to figure out "what a girl wants" rather than what Amazon is asking .. any one experiencing this ?

Hi @Seller_ctmoP8Vw3rAvW,
Dominic from Amazon here, happy to try to help.
Minimum Inventory Level is a planning tool to help you improve delivery speeds, maintain a healthy IPI score, and reduce the risk of incurring a low-inventory-level fee. We recommend that you ensure your next shipment reaches an Amazon fulfillment center before your sellable on-hand inventory drops below the minimum recommended level.
Our inventory management model utilizes inputs such as our forecast of customer demand (demand forecast) and your SKU replenishment settings to generate a recommended minimum inventory level for each of your products (FNSKU). These recommendations are updated on a weekly basis to ensure accuracy and relevance.
You can contribute to improving the accuracy of these recommendations by reviewing and updating the replenishment settings for your products. Your replenishment settings are mainly your Lead Time, which is the duration between creating a new shipment to Amazon and the moment that shipment is received at Amazon and your Replenishment frequency which is how often you send inventory for this product to Amazon.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Dominic
