Procurable Product OOS

Procurable Product OOS (also called Retail OOS or ROOS) is the Vendor Central metric for the share of an ASIN’s glance views that arrived while the item was out of stock, measured across every ASIN Amazon can procure from the vendor.

What it is

Like Rep OOS (Replenishable Out of Stock), ROOS is a share of glance views, and the difference between the two is which ASINs they count. Rep OOS only counts replenishable ASINs, the ones Amazon hasn’t stopped sourcing, while ROOS counts the wider set of procurable ASINs.

Because that cohort is larger, ROOS will in most cases read lower than Rep OOS on the same catalog. So a lower ROOS sitting next to a higher Rep OOS is a cohort-size effect, and it doesn’t mean either number is wrong.

Where it lives in Vendor Central

In the console, ROOS sits in Retail Analytics alongside the other inventory data. It appears in the manufacturing view only and doesn’t show up in the Sourcing view.

The same split applies to the programmatic source. GET_VENDOR_INVENTORY_REPORT takes a mandatory distributorView parameter set to MANUFACTURING or SOURCING, and that choice decides which catalog slice the report describes. Amazon added ROOS to that report in Q3 2022, and the report definitions guide covers the report, the distributorView parameter, and how often the data refreshes.

Why it matters to a vendor

Third-party vendor-tooling documentation describes ROOS as the metric Amazon is using to replace Rep OOS, but Rep OOS is still reported, so the practical move is to track both. If you only watch Rep OOS, you can miss stockouts on ASINs that are procurable but fall outside the replenishable cohort, and every glance view on one of those ASINs is a shopper who reached the detail page with nothing to buy.

Read ROOS per ASIN and week over week, and compare it with Rep OOS for the same ASIN. When ROOS climbs while Rep OOS holds steady, the stockouts are landing on ASINs outside the replenishable set, and that’s where to look first.

• SoROOS (Sourceable Replenishable Out of Stock): a separate metric that’s easy to confuse with this one by name. SoROOS centers on whether Amazon confirmed an out-of-stock ASIN could still be sourced and reordered, while ROOS is defined by how broad a set of ASINs it measures.
