Acapulco

Acapulco is an internal codename used by Amazon that refers to its system or process for pallet-level ordering - typically between Amazon and 1P vendors.

In the Vendor Central environment, Amazon may issue purchase orders (POs) for full pallets of goods, often under replenishment programs or bulk stocking. This is called "Acapulco ordering" behind the scenes.

Key aspects:

• It focuses on efficient inbound logistics - Amazon receives products in pre-configured pallet quantities to reduce handling and processing time.
• Vendors must follow specific pallet standards, including labeling, height, weight, and wrapping requirements.
• Acapulco is designed to streamline warehouse operations and speed up product availability.
• It may be used in conjunction with Automated Ordering systems or Born to Run programs, especially for high-velocity items.

While sellers (3P) typically won’t encounter this term directly, understanding Acapulco is useful if you're transitioning to 1P vendor status or working with large-scale B2B supply.

It's one of many Amazon codenames that refer to logistical systems, much like how “Canoe” refers to cross-border FBA shipments.
