Stock tracking and alerts
Stock tracking is the backbone of the Inventory section. It pulls live stock from Amazon’s SP-API for the inventory you have at FBA, and combines it with your own warehouse data for FBM and pre-FBA stock. You can set up low-stock alerts and filter by stock status to stay on top of inventory levels.
In this guide:
- Open the Stock view
- Filter stock with Advanced Filters
- Create and manage saved views
- Expand warehouse breakdown and view stock history
- Assign suppliers and track costs
- Bulk import and export warehouse stock
- Use bulk actions
Prerequisites
- Your Amazon Seller account is connected.
- Optional: at least one warehouse configured if you stock product yourself. See Multi-warehouse.
Step 1: Open the Stock view
Go to Inventory → Inventory in the sidebar to open the main stock list.
The list defaults to all active SKUs across selected marketplaces, sorted by FBA Qty descending — your largest FBA quantities appear first.
Step 2: Filter stock with Advanced Filters
For complex filtering, click the Advanced Filters button in the toolbar. Build multi-condition filter expressions with AND/OR logic:
- Add conditions: click Add Filter and select a field and value.
- Combine conditions: use AND/OR operators between rows.
- Save as a view: after building filters, click Save as new view to create a named tab for quick access later.
Step 3: Create and manage saved views
Save frequently-used filter configurations as tabs that persist across sessions:
- Click a saved-view tab to instantly reload that filter set.
- Create a new view: filter the list as desired, then click Save as new view and name it (e.g., “Low stock — 3PL”, “High-value SKUs”).
- Update an existing view: click Save changes to persist modifications to the current filter.
- Manage views: right-click a tab to edit or delete it.
Step 4: Expand warehouse breakdown and view stock history
Click the WH Qty value in any row to expand warehouse details. See the warehouse-by-warehouse breakdown of current stock quantities:
- Click the FBA Qty value to open the Stock history dialog, showing historical stock movements (on-hand stock, sales volume, and AWD stock) over time.
Step 5: Assign suppliers and track costs per unit
To assign suppliers to a product and track cost per unit, locate the Suppliers column in the stock list. Click the + button next to a product to open Manage suppliers:
- Add suppliers: search by vendor name and select.
- Set primary supplier: mark one as the default for purchase orders.
- Set cost per unit: enter what this supplier charges. This is independent of your product’s inventory COGS, which is tracked separately.
Step 6: Bulk import and export warehouse stock via spreadsheet
To update warehouse stock for multiple products at once, click the toolbar menu → Import / Export Stock → Import Stock:
- Upload a CSV/Excel file with stock quantities per warehouse.
- Validate data: Hilal checks for missing SKUs, invalid warehouses, negative quantities.
- Monitor progress: track the import job as it processes.
- View history: click Import History to see previous uploads, including errors and success counts.
To export warehouse stock data, click the toolbar menu → Import / Export Stock → Export Stock. Download your current stock levels for backup or analysis.
Step 7: Use bulk actions
Select one or more rows in the stock list and use bulk actions to update multiple SKUs at once:
- Assign Supplier — set or update supplier assignments for selected SKUs.
- Assign Warehouse — set the default warehouse for selected SKUs.
- Set Tags — add tags to selected SKUs for organization.
- Update Velocity — adjust velocity (daily run-rate) for selected SKUs.
- Update Buffer — update safety stock buffer for selected SKUs.
- Export Selected — download selected SKUs to a file.
Troubleshooting
- Stock shows “—” instead of a number. The Seller-account sync hasn’t completed for that SKU. Stock updates as data arrives from Amazon.
- Days-of-cover is wildly off. Either you have very thin sales history (Hilal needs ~14 days to build a stable run-rate) or seasonality skewed it. Check the demand forecast detail for more context.
- The alert says “Low” but I have stock at FBA. Hilal counts only available stock. Check whether the bulk of your stock is inbound or unfulfillable.
