ChannelEngine: where can I see updated stock information for my products?

About this guide

This is a guide on how you can view the latest stock update for your products in ChannelEngine.

Where can I see updated stock information for my products?

Stock is stored in a stock location, split based on merchant stock vs stock that is held in an external fulfillment location. If you use a fulfillment service offered by a marketplace, such as Amazon's FBA or bol.com's LVB services, this stock will appear in a separate location. 

The timestamp of the last update for a specific stock location can be retrieved in two ways:

1. Via the ChannelEngine web interface - by hovering over your stock quantity, an overlay will appear displaying the date and time of the last update. 
   
2. Via the ChannelEngine merchant API - by calling the GET /v2/offer/stock endpoint, you can retrieve the stock quantity for a specific stock location for a product, including the timestamp of the last update.

Example request: 

curl -X GET "https://myshop.channelengine.com/api/v2/offer/stock?skus=6142&stockLocationIds=1&apikey=[APIKEY]" -H "accept: text/plain"

Example response:

{ "Content": [ { "MerchantProductNo": "6142", "StockLocationId": 1, "Stock": 4, "UpdatedAt": "2019-01-31T16:30:09.893+01:00" } ], "Count": 1, "TotalCount": 1, "ItemsPerPage": 1, "StatusCode": 200, "LogId": null, "Success": true, "Message": null, "ValidationErrors": {} }
