# Single-SKU stock — “do you have SKU X?”

Brand: **am.co.za** / AM.CO.ZA. Shortcut guide · 2026-09-07 03:15 SAST.

For one Product SKU (e.g. `H-DTF/303/XP600`, `V4-H720`, `AM-WIPE/5`). Named starter **packages** → prefer [packages-available.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/scenarios/packages-available.md) / [combo-how.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/scenarios/combo-how.md).

**Do not invent qty or restock days.** Ignore catalog “In Stock / Out of Stock”.

## Slug rule

Product JSON and price history use the same slug:

> **slug** = SKU lowercased; every **non-letter** → `-`

| SKU | Slug | Product JSON |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `AA-TRAIN/20` | `aa-train-20` | https://am.im/product/aa-train-20.json |
| `H-DTF/303/XP600` | `h-dtf-303-xp600` | https://am.im/product/h-dtf-303-xp600.json |
| `S-INKRIP` | `s-inkrip` | https://am.im/product/s-inkrip.json |
| `AM-WIPE/5` | `am-wipe-5` | https://am.im/product/am-wipe-5.json |
| `H-DTF/ROLL/300` | `h-dtf-roll-300` | https://am.im/product/h-dtf-roll-300.json |
| `A-PHASE/18KW` | `a-phase-18kw` | https://am.im/product/a-phase-18kw.json |
| `F2-1800` | `f2-1800` | https://am.im/product/f2-1800.json |

2. Pointer: [https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/STOCK.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/STOCK.md)  
3. Colour (opinion): [https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/OBSERVATIONS.md](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/OBSERVATIONS.md)

## Steps

1. **Read product JSON** — `https://am.im/product/{slug}.json`  
   - `stock.virtual` true → not in warehouse files; assume stock (use `stock.total` if present). Example: `S-INKRIP`.  
   - `stock.unmanaged` true → always in stock. Example: `AA-TRAIN/20`.  
   - Else: managed physical — go to branch qty.

2. **Branch on-hand** — open [latest.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/latest.json) and read **only that SKU key**.  
   Shape: `{ "johannesburg": n, "cape-town": n, "durban": n }` (sparse).  
   Missing location key = **0** there. Johannesburg is the main warehouse.  
   Or branch files: [johannesburg.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/johannesburg.json) · [cape-town.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/cape-town.json) · [durban.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/durban.json).

3. **If all three branches are 0** — also check status (do not invent from/to or days):  
   | File | Meaning |
   | --- | --- |
   | [status.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/status.json) | Joined `{ in_transit, incomplete, demo }` |
   | [in-transit.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/in-transit.json) | Moving between branches |
   | [in-transit-direction.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/in-transit-direction.json) | Destination only (`{}` = nothing moving) |
   | [incomplete.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/incomplete.json) | May be restorable |
   | [demo.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/demo.json) | Show unit — **machines** sellable; consumable Demo often used-up |

4. **Movement colour only** (not restock ETA): [changes-7d.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/changes-7d.json) · [trend-7d.json](https://8i.co.za/data/amcoza/stock/trend-7d.json).

## Answer template

- Say qty **per branch** that listed the SKU.  
- If empty: mention InTransit / InComplete / Demo **from the files**, then be honest.  
- Never quote catalog Availability. Never invent wait days.
