How to Set up New Products Recently Added to SoStocked

As you launch new products on Amazon, they will be pulled into SoStocked automatically through our API. However, there are some setup steps you must take to ensure these products are assigned to the correct supplier, warehouses, inventory, and forecast settings. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use the "First Seen" filter and product tags to ensure all of your newly added products are up-to-date.

1. Make sure you set up your "Active" and "Inactive" settings correctly to ensure you aren't missing products here.

   
   

2. Make sure you update any forecasting settings for new products. We have some newer default forecast settings so make sure you review the forecast tutorial here.

   
   
3. NEW PRODUCTS & STOCKOUTS: When launching new products, it is often likely to temporarily go out of stock. Our Stockout Tool will replace out of stock days with a daily average of what you would have sold if you were in stock. If you have only sent in a small amount of inventory, then the stockout tool averages are based on too little data and could over-inflate your velocity. So in that case consider turning OFF the Stockout tool until such time as you have adequate sales on this new product. View the Stockout tool tutorial here.
