INVRPT / SLSRPT (inventory and sales reports)
Σύντομη απάντηση
EDIFACT messages by which a retailer reports stock and sales per product to the supplier, essential for VMI.
Βασικά συμπεράσματα
- INVRPT - current stock per product, per location/store
- SLSRPT - sales achieved per product, per period
What INVRPT and SLSRPT are
INVRPT (Inventory Report) and SLSRPT (Sales Data Report) are EDIFACT messages by which a retailer sends operational data to the supplier:
- INVRPT - current stock per product, per location/store
- SLSRPT - sales achieved per product, per period
Why they are valuable
This data gives the supplier downstream visibility: how many products actually sold and how much stock remains at the retailer. They are the foundation for VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) and supply planning.
Use cases
- VMI - the supplier replenishes based on real stock/sales, not orders
- Demand planning - forecasts based on real shelf sales (sell-out), not just deliveries (sell-in)
- Stockout prevention - reacting to declining retailer stock
How CRMconnect helps
CRMconnect receives INVRPT/SLSRPT, matches them with its own stock and generates VMI replenishment proposals - the supplier keeps shelves full without waiting for orders, reducing stockouts and increasing sales.
Πραγματικό παράδειγμα
A supplier in a VMI model received daily INVRPT and SLSRPT from a retailer. CRMconnect automatically computed replenishment needs from real sales and generated orders - shelf stockouts dropped 55% and sales rose.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Difference between sell-in and sell-out?+
Sell-in = what the supplier sells to the retailer (deliveries). Sell-out = what the retailer sells to the end consumer (SLSRPT). Sell-out data is far more valuable for accurate forecasts.
How do INVRPT/SLSRPT support VMI?+
In VMI, the supplier decides replenishment. It needs to see stock (INVRPT) and sales (SLSRPT) at the retailer to keep shelves full without stockouts or overstock.
Do all retailers send these reports?+
No, it depends on the commercial relationship and collaboration level (VMI, CPFR). When available, this data turns supply planning from reactive to predictive.
