The SKU Status report answers one question per marketplace: how many SKUs are live, and why aren't the rest? Every SKU that belongs on the marketplace lands in one of four categories, and clicking a category breaks it down by exact status and filters the SKU list. Out of the box the report only counts SKUs that have stock available to the marketplace; the report options change that.
Open it from the marketplace's section in the sidebar: click the ... under the marketplace, then Reports -> SKU Status. It is also on the marketplace's Reports hub.
Read the category chart
The first chart splits the marketplace's SKUs into four categories:
- Live -- an approved version of the SKU is selling on the marketplace right now. This includes SKUs you have edited since they went live, where the marketplace is still showing the previous version.
- No action required -- not live yet, and the next move is the marketplace's (or Osello's): submitted, pending approval, pending publication, or an offer on its way.
- Action required -- not live, and the next move is yours: incomplete content, ready to submit, changes the marketplace asked for, a failed submission, an image waiting for your approval. Yet to list SKUs sit here too: the SKUs of the products in the marketplace's Products to List report, so a product that is below your minimum inventory, or that already has a listing on the marketplace, never appears here.
- Inactive -- not live and not being worked on: rejected, unlisted or suspended by the marketplace, or disabled.
When a marketplace is disabled or disconnected, Osello treats every listing on it as disabled, whatever state it was last in, so its SKUs only appear with Include Disabled? on, under Inactive.
Click a slice, or its label under the chart, to select that category. Only one category can be selected at a time; click it again to clear the selection. While a category is selected the other slices and their labels fade. The table below filters to the selected category, and a second chart appears next to it (below it on a phone or tablet).
Break a category down by state
The second chart shows the exact statuses inside the selected category, for example Live SKU states or Action required SKU states. In the Live category the slices describe the current version of each SKU: Active means the latest changes are live and the SKU is purchasable, Pending re-submission means you edited the SKU and have not submitted it again yet. With the Minimum inventory option set to 0, live SKUs that have no stock in the marketplace's enabled locations split off into their own Out of stock slice, whatever their current version is doing: they are live, but the marketplace has nothing to sell. In the other categories the slices use the same status names as the listing badges.
Click any slice, or its label, to filter the table to that status; click it again to clear it. As with the category chart, one status at a time. If every SKU in the category has the same status the chart is a single full slice, and it still appears so the two charts always work the same way.
See why the marketplace asked for changes
Under Action required, selecting the Changes required status adds a third chart, Issue categories: the SKUs in that status grouped by the category of the open issues the marketplace (or a content check) raised against them, such as Imagery, Content, Attributes or Grouping. Click a category to filter the table to the SKUs with an issue in it and to reveal a fourth chart with that category's sub-categories, for example Missing or Specifications under Imagery. Click a sub-category to filter the table down to the SKUs with that exact kind of issue. As with the other charts, one selection at a time; click again to clear it.
The charts count SKUs, not issues. A SKU whose issues fall in two categories counts under both, so the slices can add up to more than the status total. An issue raised against the whole listing or its parent data (shared fields such as the size chart) counts for every SKU in it, and an issue on a shared field value counts for every SKU reading that value. Dismissed issues are left out. The issues themselves, with the marketplace's own wording, are on the listing and in the marketplace's Issues page; see Fix rejected listings.
Work the SKU list
Every row is one SKU on this marketplace:
- Item shows the listing variant's image and name as it exists on the marketplace, with its configured options (for example "Large") and the listing's style code. Click it to open the listing variant, or the listing for a standalone listing. Yet to list SKUs have no listing yet, so they show the product variant's image, name and options instead, and link to the product variant, or the product for a standalone product.
- Identifiers stacks the SKU and barcode from the source product, or from the listing variant when no product variant is linked. Click either to copy it.
- Inventory is the quantity the SKU's offer carries, which is what the marketplace has been told is in stock. A SKU with no offer yet, including every yet to list SKU, shows the source product variant's stock with a
*instead; that figure can differ from what the marketplace would get once an inventory buffer or disabled inventory locations apply. A listing with no linked product variant reads Unknown. - State is the same badge you see on the listing pages, plus a Yet to list badge for SKUs without a listing. Hover over (or tap) a Changes required or Rejected badge to see the open issues behind it, including the ones on the listing and its parent data, which are marked "(parent)".
- Updated at and Created at show when the listing variant last changed and when it was created. Yet to list rows show the product variant's times instead.
The search box above the list filters it by SKU, name, or other identifiers without changing the charts, and the count next to it tells you how many SKUs match. The filter button next to it narrows the list, also without changing the charts:
- Category -- the marketplace category of the SKU's listing. SKUs that are not listed yet count as Uncategorized.
- Inventory -- a minimum and maximum quantity. For a listed SKU this is the offer quantity Osello sends to the marketplace (after reservations and any inventory buffer). For a SKU that is not listed yet, or has no offer, it is the stock in the locations enabled for the marketplace. The ... menu on each row links to the related product, product variant, listing, and listing variant pages.
Report options
Click the cog at the top right of the page to open Report Options. Every option scopes the whole report, charts and table together, once you hit Apply:
- Minimum inventory (1 by default) -- leaves out every SKU with less stock than this in the locations enabled for the marketplace, so out-of-stock SKUs stay out of every category until you set it to 0. At 0, out-of-stock SKUs that are live show up under an Out of stock slice in the Live breakdown. It looks at each SKU's own stock, not the product total the Products to List report uses. A listing that is not linked to one of your product variants has no stock figure in Osello, so it is never left out by this option.
- Include Yet to List? (on by default) -- adds the SKUs from the marketplace's Products to List report to the Action required category. A product change can take up to a minute to move a SKU in or out of Yet to List.
- Include Disabled? (off by default) -- adds SKUs that are disabled, either directly, through a disabled parent listing, or through a disabled or disconnected marketplace, to the Inactive category.
- Include Imported? (on by default) -- turn it off to leave out every SKU whose listing variant was created by a listing import, which shows you only what was listed through Osello. A variant you added later to an imported listing counts as listed through Osello.
The cog shows how many options differ from their defaults, and Reset to default puts them back.
