Plan Amazon inventory with Stock Control

Official transcript

What this SellerEngine guide covers

Welcome to Stock Control. We'll tour every view, from the dashboard to the FBA checks, using synthetic demo data. Let's open it from its workspace row. It opens on the dashboard, with today's replenishment picture.

Stock Control turns stock, sales velocity and lead times into replenishment signals. Let's expand the sidebar. Eight views: dashboard, inventory, missing FBA units, FBA inbound, tracking, orders, analytics and finance. I'll collapse it for more room. The top bar switches between the six SellerEngine tools, with light or dark mode and your Workspace.

The Executive Summary is your daily action center: orders to place, units to claim and slow stock to review, each a click away. P1 means coverage is shorter than the lead time: even an order placed today may land after the stockout, so act now. P2 means coverage under twice the lead time: reorder soon. P3 is healthy, Launch tracks new products, and No sales flags idle listings. Below: operational stock, sellable plus inbound, average coverage, SKUs under sixty days, and slow movers beyond a year. Excluded lists the SKUs you marked as discontinued, kept out of every total and order.

Tied-up capital values your stock at cost: healthy, new launches, overstock where you hold ordering, and deadstock to promote or clear. The charts split stock value and units by region and by brand. Hover a bar for exact figures. Every card, and each priority pill up top, opens a filtered inventory. Let's click P1 Urgent.

Inventory opens on the seven urgent SKUs: sellable, inbound, reserved and damaged units, monthly sales and suggested order. The key check is coverage against lead time. Here stock runs out in under two weeks, before a new order could arrive. Hover the stock figure to see the math: sellable plus inbound, with reserved units excluded. Let's clear the filter and search by SKU, ASIN or name, like magnesium. On a healthy SKU, the Order badge means the reorder point is about a month away, with nothing inbound. Escape clears it. Region picks EU or UK; pan-European stock is pooled, so Germany returns the shared EU rows.

Filter by brand, and the summary strip updates with it: SKU count, visible stock and suggested orders. Status filters by rotation state. Overstock means far more cover than you need: cash sitting on the shelf. Deadstock goes further: very long coverage, or no recent sales. Think promotion or clearance. The priority pills cut it quickly: P3 is healthy, P0 has no sales, and P2 is everything to reorder soon. Columns sort: lowest coverage first, then highest, then back to the default order. Back to all SKUs. The table shows twenty-five rows per page; Next and Previous move between them.

Show inactive adds listings without a live offer. Export CSV downloads every row that matches your current filters.

In Orders, recommendations are grouped by supplier. Order now holds the P1 lines. The headline is the urgent shortfall. The full total adds buffer units for a healthy cover target. Each line shows its evidence: stock scope, demand markets, stock, coverage, lead time, and a Ready decision. Headers sort the lines. Copy puts a supplier's SKU, ASIN and quantities on your clipboard. Nothing is sent automatically. Order soon holds the P2 lines. Review holds lines that need a check, Excluded holds blocked ones; both are empty here. PO summary totals every ready line per SKU: the basis for your purchase orders.

Analytics covers the portfolio: SKUs in scope, units to order, units sold, and estimated global profit. Rotation status shows the mix of states, and coverage buckets group SKUs from under thirty days to over a year. Priorities by region stacks P1 to P3; pooled EU stock shows as a dash. A legend click hides a series, another restores it. Product analysis ranks SKUs by units to order, with sales, velocity, stock and coverage. A note flags SKUs missing a cost. Narrow to the UK and search for oil: everything recalculates except the global profit card.

Changing the period, or pressing Reset, reloads every view and returns you to the Executive Summary.

Finance is the executive P&L: net sales, estimated net profit, PPC spend with TACoS, and returns. View by region shows fees, PPC and profit per region, under the global total. Only the EU and UK sell here. The charts compare net sales with profit, and each region's share. Legend clicks hide a series or region, then restore it.

Missing FBA Units reconciles sixty days of inventory adjustments, like lost or damaged units, against reimbursements. This demo runs on synthetic data with no Amazon reports behind it, so the list is empty. Automatic Check Amazon is paused while Amazon access is set up, so with your account you upload the Inventory Ledger here. Claimable units get support drafts to copy or export, and you file each claim yourself, within sixty days. The region chips choose which marketplaces the next check covers. An unchecked chip is left out.

FBA Inbound flags closed shipments from the last ninety days where Amazon received fewer units than you sent. It refreshes daily, on its own. Real gaps would show here, with a printable packing list. This demo has no closed inbound shipments, so it's empty.

Tracking keeps your own shipments to Amazon in one table. Paste a courier tracking number to add one. Add the FBA shipment number and a note too. Refresh pulls the latest courier status; the cross clears a row. In a live account, status and last event come from the courier's tracking provider, and an overdue ETA turns red.
