Can I remove my COGS and supplier columns before sending a file to a VA?

Yes. Enter the exact header names for those columns — e.g. landed_cost, supplier_name — and Deliteful removes them from every sheet in the workbook. The VA receives a file with only the columns you left in.

Will this work on Seller Central flat file exports?

Yes, as long as the export is saved as .xlsx or .xls. Seller Central flat files downloaded in Excel format are fully supported.

What if my inventory file has multiple tabs — like a summary and a SKU-level detail sheet?

The tool removes the specified columns from every worksheet in the workbook simultaneously. If landed_cost appears on both a summary tab and a detail tab, it is removed from both.

Does removing columns affect the row data in remaining columns?

No. Only the specified columns are removed. All other columns, their values, and their order are preserved exactly as in the source file.

Remove Cost and Internal Columns from Amazon Inventory Exports Before Sharing

Amazon sellers exporting inventory reports from Seller Central or third-party tools like Helium 10 get files packed with internal data — landed cost, supplier names, reorder thresholds, private label margins — that cannot go to a VA, a prep center, or an external agency. Manually deleting those columns from a 2,000-SKU export is slow and one missed column exposes your cost structure to someone who shouldn't see it. Deliteful removes named columns from every sheet in the workbook in a single pass.

Marketplace sellers operate with a sharp separation between what they share internally and what goes outside the business. A VA managing listings needs ASINs, titles, bullet points, and inventory quantities — not your COGS, supplier contact, or net margin per unit. The same export that drives your internal replenishment decisions is the wrong file to hand to a freelancer or catalog agency. The column gap between those two use cases is exactly what this tool closes.

Inventory exports from Seller Central, Jungle Scout, or Helium 10 commonly run 25–40 columns. A listing VA or marketplace agency typically needs fewer than 10. Rather than maintaining a separate export template or editing each file by hand, you can upload the full export to Deliteful, specify the headers to drop — cost_per_unit, supplier_name, reorder_point, net_margin — and download a file that's safe to share. The tool handles every worksheet in the workbook, so multi-tab exports are cleaned in one operation.

How it works

Export your inventory file
Download your inventory or listing report from Seller Central, Helium 10, Jungle Scout, or your inventory management tool as .xlsx or .xls.

Upload the file to Deliteful and enter those header names as a comma-separated list.
4
Share the sanitized export
Download the cleaned file and send it to your VA, prep center, or agency with confidence.
