How to add a Parent ASIN for Amazon Product Listings
Remove a Child ASIN from a Parent in Amazon
While adding child variations to a parent is somewhat complex, removing a child ASIN typically just requires a call to Amazon Seller Support, speaking with someone in the Amazon Catalog department, and asking them to manually separate the ASIN from the parentage. Updates should be visible on the listing page within 10-15 minutes.
Occasionally the catalog department will be unable to separate the ASIN and you will need to delete the parent and child products and re-upload them. Typically Amazon requires that you wait 24 to 48 hours before re-uploading the same SKU, but you can ask that they refresh the system on the backend to allow you to re-upload sooner to avoid loss of sales.
Note that before you delete any product or parent you should have seller support turn on the Category Listing Report and download it for every category you sell products in. Yes will allow you to easily create Excel spreadsheets to re-upload the products. Note that by simply deleting a parent ASIN any child variation will result in a 404 not found page error and will not be visible on Amazon.com.
