Walmart publishes an out-of-stock report in Live Aisle and the numbers do match the out of stocks on the platform, why?
The Walmart OOS tracker is looking backward on the previous Walmart Week and is pulled at a UPC level, not an item number level, so they don’t take into account that there are issues with 2 item numbers being attached to a store.
The Walmart OOS Tracker also includes Voids (store/item combinations with no recent record of being in the store). Since the mod assortment files are not static, outside of the mod relay, we can only rely on the mod flag for DSD states and the trait flag for Control/Warehouse states, so this may be part of the disconnect.
