Inventory Link Audit
Summary
Inventory Link Audit flags supplier inventory links at risk of cost, brand, or identifier mismatches across multi-supplier catalogs, and emails a results file you review and re-upload to remove bad links in bulk.
Inventory Link Audit finds supplier inventory links at high risk of a data mismatch — cost, brand, or identifier discrepancies — across multi-supplier catalogs. It emails a results file you review and upload back to remove incorrect links in bulk.
- Detect mismatches — flags links with cost, brand, or UPC/MPN discrepancies.
- Scope by scenario — choose which mismatch scenarios to run and exclude enrichment-only sources.
- Review results — each flagged item shows the link, its fields, and an audit reason.
- Remediate in bulk — upload the file back to remove incorrect links at scale.

How do I get the audit results? A results file is emailed to your inbox once the audit completes.
How do I keep a link the audit flagged? Change its Unlink value from "true" to "false", or delete the row, before you re-upload the file.
How do I avoid false positives? Exclude sources used only for enrichment or reference when you scope the audit.
When should I run it? During supplier onboarding, when investigating pricing or availability discrepancies, for routine health checks, and before enabling advanced automation.
