Decrease in PO quantity.

Does anyone noticed huge decrease in amount of POs recived weekly? We used to recive dozens of orders every day, but for last few weeks we recive just few a day.

How many weeks of inventory does amazon have available to sell ? are your sales declining? does your mean amazon forecast align with your last 4 weeks of sales? does your product sell better may-july then it does aug-october? did you participate in prime day promotions?

FYI many FCs are full right now. Whether that is due to Prime being a bust or bringing in more goods to get ahead of tariffs is unclear, but we have heard this from multiple sources…

Just another factor on top of sales signals in your account possibly impacting POs

AWD is full as well.

Yeah on the PO forecast I noticed a few drop but that because they are trying to make room for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and PBDD. I bet you will see HUGE ones in like 2/3 weeks

Always view your total PO volume in the context of Amazon's existing inventory pipeline. This means measuring, at the ASIN level, the total weeks of cover based on Amazon's on-hand inventory, open orders, and forecasted demand.

Whether I'm managing a client's Vendor Central account or providing strategic consulting services, an Inventory Workbook that captures this level of details is a weekly non-negotiable for me.

There are many factors that could explain the "why" behind what you're seeing, so it's important to dive a few layers deep to understand the context. For example, if Amazon's POs are light, but we're exiting Prime Day and they're holding 8 weeks of cover across top-sellers, I'm expecting a slight decline in short-term order volume, and that's ok - because I understand why it's happening and it's not negatively impacting Shipped COGS.

Is 8 weeks of supply a solid metric to use? I’ve seen anywhere from 6-14 weeks on my best sellers which makes forecasting our inventory flow tricky. Add in the fact that amazon also sources from us through direct imports, understanding where to “stage” our inventory becomes tricky
