Amazon internally assigns different codes for each item listed so that the order system can recognize whether the product is orderable and should be ordered.
If an article has a wrong code, Amazon no longer orders it from you. It is not available directly from Amazon on the Amazon website, visibility decreases fewer customers click on it. This leads to less demand and he, the downward spiral is in full swing. Such replenishment codes are currently being phased out by Amazon, as they prove to be rather complex.
These codes could be PR which stands for planned replenishment, meaning that the product will be reordered automatically BR which stands for basic replenishment, meaning that the product is only reordered manual. LR which stands for limited replenishment, meaning that the product will be reordered if required OB which stands for obsolete, meaning that the product is no longer available and will not be ordered NR which stands for non replenishable, meaning that the product is not available. OF which stands for off season, meaning that the product is a seasonal article and it is out of season.
IS which stands for in season, meaning that the product is seasonal and is available during season NP, which stands for new products, which means that the product is newly listed. NS which stands for drop ship, meaning that the product is not in the Amazon warehouse. AL which stands for allocated meaning that the product is only reordered manually. OP which stands for out print, meaning that the product is no longer produced it is end of line.
UN which stands for unknown, meaning that the product status is unknown and why which stands for not yet published, meaning that the product is not yet release. Green light, which means availability, which means that the ASIN is currently available from the supplier in stock, which means that the articles are automatically reordered by Amazon are required temporarily unavailable, which means that the product is not ordered by Amazon and permanently unavailable, meaning that the product cannot be offered anymore.
And it is not ordered by Amazon. These last four items for the replenishment codes are what Amazon is currently now using to discern the availability of the product.
