CATALOG REVIEW · Workflow idea
For a store owner authorized to manage its catalog, compare current product listings with verified sales over a defined lookback period and prepare an exception report. Missing orders, returns, seasonal products, or data gaps can make a product appear inactive by mistake. Check reporting coverage and current product status, show the evidence and threshold, and require a manager to approve each proposed deactivation before the listing changes.
01 / The starting point
Authorized order and product records, a defined lookback period, and an approver
“Reduce catalog clutter without disabling products based on incomplete or misleading sales data.”
02 / The work
Helps a store identify products with no recorded sales during a selected period and prepare them for review.
Set the approved sales window and the product records the store is permitted to assess.
Verify dates, product identifiers, variants, and the completeness of the order history.
Show product details and the reason each listing may qualify without treating the result as final.
Check seasonal, backordered, newly listed, or strategically retained products with their owner.
Require an authorized manager to confirm specific listings before any status is changed.
03 / The result
A dated candidate list with sales evidence, exceptions, and manager approval status.
Commerce · Example outcome
A dated candidate list with sales evidence, exceptions, and manager approval status.
A missing transaction, product variant, or seasonal sales pattern can lead to an incorrect result. Reconcile source coverage, check current product context, keep the report restricted, and do not deactivate or delete a listing until an authorized manager approves the specific product.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Specify the lookback period, sale statuses, product matching rules, and excluded categories.
Define how missing orders, variants, returns, and seasonal products are handled.
Limit catalog and sales details to authorized staff and record approval decisions.
Require review of each product and provide a correction or restore path.
