Procurable Product Out of Stock

What it means

PPOOS (Procurable Product Out of Stock) refers to OOS cases for products that are available to reorder (unlike discontinued products). PPOOS analysis helps Amazon and sellers recognize that inventory is the issue, not product market availability. Reduced PPOOS leads to better placements and customer service. Sellers should regularly analyze their PPOOS rate and optimize reordering.
