Stock dataset

Stock dataset for the Markdown & Promotions module, containing daily inventory levels per product and location.

The Stock dataset contains daily inventory levels for each product at each location. It provides the availability context used to ensure markdown and promotion actions are operationally feasible.

Purpose

The Markdown & Promotions module uses the Stock dataset to:

  • Provide current and historical inventory levels by product and location
  • Assess availability and exposure for ageing or excess stock
  • Support clearance and markdown decisions

Usage notes

  • A daily record of stock levels is recommended to support accurate analysis.
  • Stock quantities should use the same unit of measure as related datasets (for example, Sales).
  • Product and location identifiers must align with the Products and Locations datasets.

Why this dataset matters

Stock levels determine which products carry clearance or markdown risk. Without accurate stock data, recommendations may target the wrong products.
