Generate Placement Options
POST/api/amazon/:integrationInstance/draft-inbound-plans/:draft_inbound_plan/placement-options/generate
Generate placement options for the draft FBA inbound plan via the Amazon FBA Inbound API (v2024-03-20 generatePlacementOptions operation). Each placement option is a possible shipment split — Amazon proposes different ways to spread the plan's inventory across fulfillment centers, with different placement fees and discounts.
Any valid API token can call this endpoint — no specific scope required. Manage tokens.
This is an asynchronous endpoint: it dispatches a tracked background job and returns { "data": { "tracked_job_log_id": <id> } } immediately. Progress is visible via the tracked job log endpoints, and the underlying Amazon operation is resolved by the amazon_inbound_operations poller (a background job).
Tracked job name: Generate FBA Placement Options: {plan name}. When the job completes, the offered placement options (with their preview shipments) are persisted locally and can be retrieved with List Placement Options.
No request body is required.

Response Headers
Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.
Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.
Not found — no record with the given identifier (or the route does not exist). Verify the ID before retrying.
Validation failed — the body is a field → messages map (Laravel shape) or the platform envelope with a stable machine-readable code. Fix the payload and resubmit.
Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
