Inventory and fulfillment readiness

Learn how to monitor inventory health and fulfillment settings so you can keep promises, avoid cancellations, and protect delivery metrics.

When to use these reports

Use these reports when you want to:

  • Verify on‑hand and available‑to‑sell quantities by ship node before promotions or peak demand.
  • Check lag time and shipping promises against service levels.
  • Confirm shipping configuration and program enrollments align with your intended offer strategy.
  • Detect mismatches that could cause late shipment risk or delivery defects.

Common tasks

  • Validate inventory coverage: confirm items have sufficient available quantity across ship nodes and channels.
  • Review handling time: compare configured lag time to actual fulfillment performance and adjust where needed.
  • Audit shipping setup: ensure shipping methods, regions, and costs match policy and customer expectations.
  • Confirm program eligibility: check that items are correctly enrolled in shipping programs and meet requirements.

Typical filters

  • Date range (for time‑bounded snapshots or trends)
  • SKU or item IDs (focus analysis on specific listings)
  • Ship node or fulfillment center
  • Shipping program or region
  • Thresholds (for example, minimum available quantity)

See use report filters for rules, formats, and examples.
