Good to know

Manufacturing and sourcing views

Amazon gives sales and inventory data in two views:

  • Manufacturing shows the products that you make, also when Amazon gets them from a different supplier.
  • Sourcing shows the products that Amazon gets from you.

Each view has its own field group: Sales (manufacturing) and Sales (sourcing), and Inventory (manufacturing) and Inventory (sourcing). Ordered revenue and Ordered units are in Sales (manufacturing) only.

One report in each query

Each metric group comes from a different Amazon report:

  • Sales (manufacturing)
  • Sales (sourcing)
  • Traffic
  • Inventory (manufacturing)
  • Inventory (sourcing)
  • Margin
  • Forecasting

You can use the metrics of one group only in a query. A filter must also use a field of the same group. To get data from two groups, make one query for each group.

The Forecasting metrics show the demand that Amazon expects in the future. You cannot use them with the Time dimensions. Use the Forecast period dimensions instead.

Data freshness

Amazon publishes the data for a day 72 hours after the day ends. Because of this:

  • If your date range end date is within the last 3 days, Two Minute Reports moves the end date back to the most recent day that Amazon published.
  • If all of your date range is within the last 3 days, for example Today or Yesterday, the query shows an error.

Amazon reports each day in Pacific time. The first query for a new account can take some minutes, because Amazon makes each report on request.

Rates and averages

Average vendor lead time (days), Vendor confirmation rate, Sell through rate, and Net pure product margin are averages of the daily values. For a week, a month, or a year, the value can be different from the value in Vendor Central.

Stock levels

These inventory fields show the stock on one day, not the activity in a period:

  • Sellable on hand inventory units and Sellable on hand inventory cost
  • Unsellable on hand inventory units and Unsellable on hand inventory cost
  • Aged 90+ days sellable inventory units and Aged 90+ days sellable inventory cost
  • Unhealthy inventory units and Unhealthy inventory cost
  • Open purchase order units
  • Unfilled customer ordered units

Use them with the Date dimension. For a week, a month, a year, or a date range with no Date dimension, Two Minute Reports adds the values of the days together, so the value is higher than your stock. For example, Sellable on hand inventory units by ASIN for Last 30 days is approximately 30 times your stock.

Net received inventory units and Net received inventory cost show the inventory that Amazon received in the period. You can use them with any time dimension.

Troubleshooting

  • "Amazon has not published this reporting period yet": use a date range that ends 3 or more days before today. See Data freshness.
  • "This Amazon Vendor Central account cannot access retail analytics reports": make sure that the vendor is enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry. Then edit the connection, and sign in again with a user that has admin access to the Vendor Central account.
  • "Amazon Vendor Central access was revoked or expired": Amazon asks you to authorize Two Minute Reports again every 365 days. Edit the connection, select Login with Amazon, and save the connection.
  • "The filter on '…' belongs to a different Amazon Vendor Central report than the selected fields": change the filter to a field from the same group as your metrics. See One report in each query.
