Send plan export columns
The send plan export has one row per SKU and network, in the 22 columns below, in this order. Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv) files have the same columns; the Excel sheet is named Send plan #N after the plan. To download the file, see Export a send plan.
What the file covers
- The whole saved plan. Grid filters, saved views, the selection and an unapplied tuning preview don't narrow or change it.
- One row per SKU and network. A SKU planned for four networks has four rows, including networks where it isn't listed.
- On-screen words. The Network, Status and Flags columns use the same names as the screen, such as Amazon FBA, Not listed and Stocks out first.
- Numbers stay numbers. Quantities and days are written as plain numbers, so you can sum and sort them. Text cells, such as product names, are always stored as text.
- Accented characters. CSV files start with a byte-order mark, so Excel opens product names with accents correctly.
- There is no import. You can't edit the file and upload it back. Change quantities on the grid instead; see Change a send quantity.
Columns
| # | Column | What it holds | Blank when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SKU | The product's SKU. | Never |
| 2 | Product | The product name. | Never |
| 3 | Network | The kind of network: Amazon FBA, Amazon AWD, Walmart WFS, TikTok FBT, or Warehouse transfer for your own warehouses and 3PLs. | Never |
| 4 | Destination | The destination's full name, for example Amazon FBA US or the name of one of your warehouses. If the plan has no name for it, the warehouse's number is written instead. | Never |
| 5 | Status | Whether the network can take the product: Listed, New listing, Stranded, Ineligible or Not listed. See Send Planner statuses. | Never |
| 6 | Sales/day | The daily sales rate the plan used for this network. | The network has no sales rate, for example when the product isn't listed there. |
| 7 | On hand | Units at the network that it can sell now. | Never (0 when none) |
| 8 | Inbound | Units already on the way to the network. | Never |
| 9 | Open drafts | Units in shipment drafts that haven't shipped yet. | Never |
| 10 | Need | Units the network needs to reach its target cover, before sharing and rounding. | Never |
| 11 | Suggested | The plan's own suggestion. | Never |
| 12 | Override | The quantity someone typed on the grid. | The send was never edited. |
| 13 | Final | What will be sent: the Override when there is one, otherwise the Suggested quantity. | Never |
| 14 | Cases | Final divided by the case pack, rounded down to whole cases. | The product ships in units rather than cases (a case pack of 1). |
| 15 | Days of cover today | Days of sales the network holds today: on hand ÷ Sales/day. Stock on the way isn't counted. | The network has no sales to measure against. |
| 16 | Days of cover after | Days of sales the network will hold once the Final quantity lands, counting on hand, inbound and open drafts too. An edited send shows the cover after your edit, the same as the grid's pill. | The network has no sales to measure against. |
| 17 | Marketplace suggests | What the marketplace itself suggests sending, such as Amazon Restock. | The marketplace gave no suggestion. |
| 18 | Flags | The flags on this network's send, separated by semicolons, for example Stocks out first; Differs from network. See the flag list. | The send has no flags. |
| 19 | On hand at your warehouses (per product) | Stock on hand at your warehouses for the whole SKU. | Every row of the SKU except its first. |
| 20 | Kept for self-fulfilled orders (per product) | Units kept back for self-fulfilled orders. | Every row of the SKU except its first. |
| 21 | Stock to share (per product) | Units the networks share, the grid's Stock to share. | Every row of the SKU except its first. |
| 22 | Short (per product) | Units the SKU is short of bringing every network to target. | Every row of the SKU except its first. |
The per-product columns
Columns 19 to 22 describe the SKU's whole pool, not one network. That's why their headers end in (per product) and why each SKU fills them in only once, on its first row. Its other network rows leave them blank. This keeps the totals right: summing these columns down the file counts each SKU once.
If you sort or filter the file, the filled row can end up apart from the SKU's other rows. To total these columns for some networks only, look the values up by SKU rather than adding the rows you see.
Flags column values
The Flags column holds network flags only. Flags about the whole SKU (Short, Below floor, Needs kit build and All protected) aren't repeated on every row; use the Short (per product) column for the shortage instead.
| Value in the file | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stranded | The listing can't sell the units at the network. |
| Ineligible | The network won't take the product. |
| Stocks out first | The network runs out before this send can arrive. |
| Capacity cap | The send was capped or cut to fit the network's capacity. |
| Source-limited | The warehouses allowed to ship here don't have enough. |
| New listing | A first send to a listing with no sales yet. |
| Stale data | Planned with Plan anyway on out-of-date network stock. |
| Blackout | The send would arrive during a receiving blackout. |
| Differs from network | Far from the marketplace's own suggestion. |
| Below one case | The need is less than one case, so it rounds to nothing. |
| Expires too soon | Some lots lack the shelf life the network needs. |
| Over N per box | The case holds more units than the network accepts in one box. N is that network's own limit, such as Over 150 per box for Amazon FBA. Over box limit when the limit isn't known. |
| Carton too big | The carton is heavier or longer than the network accepts. |
| No case label | The network needs an ITF-14 case label the product doesn't have. |
| Supplier can ship | A supplier that ships straight to the network can cover what your warehouses can't. |
| Uses protected stock | An edit takes units kept for self-fulfilled orders. |
