Amazon AWD (Amazon Warehousing & Distribution) can be connected through your existing Amazon FBA integration in Luminous. Follow the steps below to configure AWD so Luminous can pull inventory and shipments from your AWD facility.


1. Go to System Settings

From the left-hand navigation, go to System SettingsApp Integration Accounts.


2. Open Your Existing Amazon FBA Integration

AWD uses the same Amazon credentials already connected for FBA.
Search for your Amazon FBA integration and click Edit.

Note:
If you have not yet connected Amazon to Luminous, please follow our “Amazon FBA Integration Setup” guide first. You must complete the FBA setup before configuring AWD.


3. Test Your Amazon Credentials

Inside the Amazon FBA integration:

  • Confirm the App Type is trackstar

  • Ensure your Access Token is entered

  • Click Test Credentials

You should see Success: Credentials are valid.

If your credentials aren’t valid, fix this before continuing — AWD will not sync until the base Amazon integration is working.


4. Create a Warehouse Named “AWD”

Next, go to Inventory → Locations.

You will need to create a dedicated warehouse for AWD:

  1. Click New Warehouse

  2. Name the warehouse AWD

  3. Inside the AWD warehouse, make sure at least one location/bin exists (e.g., “Shipping”)


5. Create the AWD Warehouse Group

Go to Inventory → Warehouse Groups and click New Warehouse Group.

Configure it as follows:

  • Label: AWD

  • Warehouse: select AWD

  • Default Picking Warehouse: also select AWD

This ensures that all AWD-related inventory and shipments are handled inside this warehouse group.


6. Configure AWD Integration Settings

Within the Warehouse Group settings, scroll to the Integration section.

Set:

  • App Integration Account: choose your Amazon FBA integration

  • External Warehouse: select AWD

Also toggle:

  • Pull Stocks → ON

  • Pull Shipments → ON

These settings allow Luminous to sync AWD inventory levels and inbound/outbound shipments.


Optional Settings

You most likely do not need to configure any of the settings around PO's, Shipments, TO's.


7. Save Your Settings

Click Submit.
Your AWD warehouse is now connected, and Luminous will begin pulling inventory and shipment data during your normal sync cycles.


You're All Set

You’ve successfully configured AWD inside Luminous. Inventory, inbound shipments, and outbound shipments from your Amazon AWD location will now sync into Luminous automatically.
