eComm Inventory now uses Walmart Item Number grain

The eComm Inventory table has transitioned from Catalog Item ID (catlg_item_id) grain to Walmart Item Number (wm_item_nbr) grain. This provides a consistent Walmart Item Number grain for joining eCommerce inventory data with other Walmart Item Number–based datasets.

What changed

  • wm_item_nbr now replaces catlg_item_id as the item-level grain.
  • The external schema and composite primary key have been updated accordingly.
  • A history file for eComm Inventory was provided through the history endpoint on October 27, 2026.
  • WPID has been removed from eComm Inventory, with no replacement field.

Documentation Updates

🟡 Documentation Update

Omni Item Dimensions is now the data source for Data Access & Collaboration tools

Operational data for Data Access and Collaboration tools has transitioned to a next-gen data source, Omni Item Dimensions, keeping the data aligned with Merch One.

What changed

  • Improved operational data refresh time (from D-2 to D-1).
  • Reduced data discrepancies between systems.
  • All 1P items now have a Walmart Item Number.
  • Improved metadata for certain items, including Brand Name, Product Descriptions, and Sell Unit of Measure.

Note: This is separate from the decommission of the legacy item attributes, which remains planned and is tracked on the Coming Soon page.


🟡 Documentation Update

Store Inventory restatement behavior clarified

Following the Enterprise Inventory (EI) transition, clarifying guidance has been added to the Store Inventory reference page explaining the current data refresh and restatement cadence:

  • Monday–Friday: D-1 incremental data and D-2 restatements are delivered together.
  • Saturday: D-1 incremental data and PSI automation data are delivered.
  • Sunday: D-1 incremental data plus a weekly restatement covering the prior 30 days are delivered.

As a result, data initially delivered for a business date may be updated in the following day's refresh as additional inventory data is finalized. This can affect metrics such as on-hand quantity, replenishable in-stock numerator, and related in-stock calculations.

This is expected behavior, not a data accuracy issue. Treat the most recently delivered business day (D-1) as preliminary.
