On a Vendor SKU you can find the last time Spark Shipping received an inventory update from your vendor and the last time your vendor changed the stock quantity for this item.
How Last Check works
This will be updated with the last time Spark Shipping received an inventory update from your vendor.How Last Change works
This will not be updated every time inventory runs. For example:
- The vendor's stock was changed at Monday 10 am to a quantity of 9 units
- The stock updated at will be Monday at 9 am
- Inventory updates run for the next 3 days, but the stock remains at 9 units
- The stock updated at will be Monday at 9 am
- The vendor's stock was changed at Thursday 2 pm to a quantity of 5 units
- The stock updated at will be Thursday at 5 pm
How to read this value
There are 3 options you may find here
- Last Change Recent (within the past week) - The stock for most products may not change each hour, but this will show you that there has been a recent update to this value
- Last Change Not Recent (more than 1 month ago) - This shows that stock was updated for this product, but there has not been a recent update. This may indicate that the vendor has discontinued this product.
- Last Change Never -
- Product was recently mapped - If the product was recently mapped, there may not have been any stock changes just yet.
- Incorrect Vendor SKU - If the product was mapped for a while but the stock has not been updated, there is a good chance the vendor SKU is incorrect.
