Listings overview

A listing is an article that is listed in a facility. The Listings view shows all articles that are listed in the respective facility.

For a general overview of the concept, refer to Products – Listings.

The view shows all information such as title, price, or attributes that was configured in the listing. The Stock column shows the total value of stock that is currently present for that item in the facility. This value is described as stock "on hand". The Reserved column shows the quantity that is reserved for accepted customer orders.

Listing detail view

Clicking on the arrow on the right opens the detail view of the corresponding listing. The listing detail view is divided into sections, offering information on both listing data and inventory data.

Header

The header displays the listing title and the tenant article ID. Below, availability values give insights on the stock availability of the listing.

Article details

The article details container shows the listing's tenantArticleId, title, all entries stored in the listing attributes, tags, image, as well as the shop price, out of stock behavior and configuration, and measurement unit key of the listing.

Stock information

The stock information module provides further details on the amount of items, reservations, stock properties, and the traits of the stock. The stock value can be edited via the three-dot menu and new stock can be added.

Users can configure whether manual stock level changes are permitted in the settings of the Network View.

Storage locations

The storage locations module shows all storage locations where the respective article is located in the facility. It provides further details on the stored amount of items, reservations, stock properties, and the traits of the location. The stock on each location can be edited via the three-dot menu. Storage locations can be edited on the Storage Location view.

Sales prices

The sales price is the amount at which articles are sold to other facilities in the network and is always stored by the facility selling the articles. The module allows users to create and delete sales prices.

More information can be found under Prices.

Purchase prices

The purchase price refers to the price at which articles are acquired from other facilities within the network. It is not specifically stored in the platform but is contingent upon the facility from which an article is sourced. The purchase price will only be displayed if there exists a facility connection between the selling and the purchasing facility. Discounts can be applied to the purchase price of an article and are defined by the selling facility.

More information can be found under Prices.

Custom attributes

The custom attributes module displays all custom attributes configured for the respective listing. Custom attributes can be edited via the three-dot menu in the module header.

More information can be found under Custom attributes.

Future availabilities

The future availabilities graph shows the development of stock that will be available for picking in the future. The table on the right provides more details about the events that triggered the respective change in stock levels. Stock levels can change due to:

• Delivery of goods: A purchase order was created, which indicates that stock is expected to be delivered for the respective article.

• Stock expires: Stock has exceeded its availableUntil date.

If there are no deliveries of goods announced and no stock is set to expire in the future, no data will be displayed in the module.

The graph does not estimate future sales or other stock movements that the system is not yet aware of.

Customization

• Table columns can be rearranged or made sticky on either side. The action is available via the three-dot menu in each column header.

• Table columns can be shown or hidden using the edit button located at the right end of the table. The reset button restores the visibility of all columns and reverts the table to its original sorting order.

• To rearrange or hide specific modules on the detail page, click the "Customize" button located at the top of the detail page.

• A reset re-displays all columns and containers, clears any sticky settings, and resets the sorting.

FAQs

For more details, refer to the Listings endpoint in the REST API documentation.

What is `expected` stock?

Expected stock is stock which is expected to arrive or to be produced in the facility. It can be communicated via the inbound process. Expected stock is visible in the stock overview in the Backoffice. Once a purchase order is created, its expected stock can be considered in the availability calculation.

What is stock `on hand`?

Stock on hand represents the total amount of stock that is physically present in a facility.

What is AFP?

AFP is an abbreviation for Available for Picking. It refers to the amount of stock that is available to be sold and is also placed on a pickable location. Specifically, this covers all stock that is ACCESSIBLE and PICKABLE, and has not yet reached its availableUntil date.

How is the `Reserved` value calculated?

The Reserved column shows the number of reservations accepted for the item in the facility. This means reservations for all orders that were assigned to the facility for fulfillment are shown, including reservations on expected stock that has not yet arrived in the facility.

What is safety stock and how is it edited?

Safety stock works as a buffer, ensuring that online sales do not cannibalize offline sales. If the safety stock is reached within a facility, the facility is no longer considered for routing, so no more online orders are accepted for fulfillment from it.

Safety stock is configured on the facility level for each listing. The value can be edited by clicking the pencil icon in the safety stock card.
