What should I ask an AI assistant about FBA inventory?
Ask for the seller SKU, marketplace, observed inventory categories and retrieval time, then ask which source fields explain the total. Ask the assistant to flag missing fields rather than invent warehouse movements.
Does reserved inventory mean Amazon lost the units?
No. A reserved quantity is not evidence of loss. Inspect the detailed inventory state and the relevant inventory records before attributing a discrepancy to a missing shipment or a reimbursement case.
Can a stranded listing have inventory at Amazon?
Yes, inventory presence and a sellable offer are separate questions. Inspect listing issues and fulfillment availability together, without assuming the inventory quantity establishes why the offer is unavailable.
Does live inventory prove a stockout forecast?
No. A forecast also needs demand history, replenishment lead time and stated assumptions. A current inventory read is one input, not a complete replenishment model.
