Reporting

Apart from the order status overview, two reportings are available to you in the FbAY model:

1. Warehouse Report: As part of the Warehouse Report, merchants will receive information about stock movements within and between About You warehouses. This information is intended to be used for VAT Report, Intrastat, and EC Sales List obligations. The Warehouse Report must not be used to interpret the offerable stock quantity for B2C business in About You shops. It does not differentiate between qualities. In the report, stock movements are grouped per day, SKU, reference, and process type. The movements are categorized into the following process types:

Some return_b2c movements will neither have a reference (order id) nor a source_country because warehouse staff are unable to identify which order a returned item belongs to, e.g. a customer doesn’t include the About You return document in the return parcel, which makes the identification of the related order id impossible.

1. Stocks

The Seller Center gives you an overview about the sellable stock of your product. However, a historical stock report will also be provided for download.

About You will supply the partner with a periodic stock report.

The stock report includes all SKU’s which have a stock greater than 0. The stock amounts only reflect the final intakes of the About You outbound warehouses (no transitional stock amounts).

The full list of SKUs will be provided in chunks of 10,000 SKUs with pagination. About You provides the chunks in order. Hence, receiving the last page of a job execution, implies the successful reception of the previous pages. If there are no positive stocks, an empty stock report is provided.

The validity of the reported stocks is exactly the validAt date provided for the stock. Processing the stock according to its validity is in the responsibility of the merchant:

• The merchant should skip stock messages older than the last processed stock message per SKU

• The merchant should determine which SKUs are not included in the report anymore & update these SKUs’ stock to 0

Please note: The stock amounts cannot easily be compared to the Warehouse Report (see Warehouse Report).
