The Inventory Turn report shows products that have sales and their turn ratios. Use this to see whether you are stocking products efficiently.
Turn (or inventory turnover) is the number of times your inventory rotates through the Amazon Fulfillment Center in a given time period. That is, it shows how often you sell off and completely replace your inventory.
A high inventory turn ratio means units are selling quickly, and a low one means that units are staying in the Amazon warehouse for a long time.
You can find this report in the Reports section of the Dashboard.
How does this report help me?
Use the data to see whether you are stocking products efficiently, or whether you should take action to avoid either going out of stock or incurring long-term storage fees.
- For products with a high turn ratio, examine their out of stock history:
- If they have frequently been out of stock, you are losing sales. Consider stocking these more heavily.
- If they have not been out of stock, you are restocking these products efficiently.
- For products with a low turn ratio, consider whether you are holding too much stock:
- If there is still demand for this type of product, but sales are slow, consider reducing the price or increasing advertising to make more sales.
- If there is very low demand for this type of product or other efforts have not worked, consider removing the item from Amazon to avoid potential long-term storage fees.
Report Criteria
Time Period: choose 30, 60, or 90 days.
Exclude products that went out of stock or include all products: choose whether you want to see your entire catalog, or only items that stayed in stock. (You should check products that went out of stock regularly to see if you could be selling more. However, if you have items you purposely allow to go out of stock, you may prefer to exclude them.)
