How we work
Checking Amazon data before making changes
How we keep report dates, marketplace differences and missing information visible during account work.
Keep the source and date
Record the report name, marketplace, period, currency and retrieval date. Keep the original file so a number can be traced back to its source.
Compare like with like
Advertising reports and retail reports measure different things. Check the time window and attribution definition before comparing them, and keep Canadian and US figures separate.
Show what is missing
A blank row is not proof of no sales or no stock. Check the identifiers, filters and report coverage, then record any unresolved gap before making a decision.
Write the proposed action
Use the checked information to describe the work, its reason and any limits. Stock on the way and supplier lead times remain assumptions until confirmed.
