The GetFulfillmentIdentifier operation gets the Fulfillment Network SKU (FNSKU) for
each supplied merchant item—creating one if needed. This operation is idempotent in that
it can be called multiple times without any adverse effects. This operation is required whenever you need to register items for Amazon fulfillment that require labeling and when you need to get the identifier prior to creating an offer. This operation is necessary
to register items for Amazon fulfillment in order to send them to Amazon, but does
not do the work of marking any offer for this item as
Amazon fulfilled.
A response does not imply that the item has an offer for which it can be fulfilled; only that the Amazon Fulfillment Network can track it. An inactive item can have a quantity in the fulfillment center, but will never be fulfilled.
Use this operation instead of GetFulfillmentIdentifierForMSKU if an offer does not already exist for the MerchantSKU.
