How to Use Walmart DC On-Hand Reporting More Effectively

A guide to Walmart DC on-hand reporting, what data to review, why it matters, and how OCM helps suppliers use it effectively.

Updated: May 2025

What Is DC On-Hand Reporting?

Walmart DC On-Hand Reporting gives suppliers a view of DC-level on-hands, on-orders, and sales so they can better understand the full inventory pipeline.

​

These reports are an important part of weekly reporting and are often used when working with your replenishment manager on orders. They can also help identify supply chain issues down to the DC level, making it easier to spot problems early and take action when needed.

​

Having this information readily available can help support conversations around DC inventory adjustments, on orders, and allocations.

Key Data to Include in DC On-Hand Reports

When reviewing Walmart DC On-Hand Reporting, it is important to include:

​

  • Average sales trend

  • Store and DC on-hand levels

  • Recap of weeks on hand (WOS) at each level — store, DC, and on order

  • Pipeline on orders

Why DC On-Hand Reports Matter

DC on-hand reports are an important part of weekly supplier reporting because they help confirm whether inventory levels are aligned with category needs and whether current orders are enough to support the sales forecast.

​

These reports also help suppliers maintain the right level of inventory throughout the pipeline so stock levels remain aligned with expectations. In-stock opportunities are one of the biggest areas a supplier can influence, and accurate inventory visibility helps create the best opportunity for success.

How OCM Helps

OCM uses several reporting tools to bring this information together for suppliers on a weekly basis, helping support normal pipeline analysis and ongoing inventory management.

​

We also create specialized reporting that can help suppliers evaluate:

​

  • Additional product to move into the DC through added orders

  • SSO (Store Specific Orders) recommendations

  • Product allocation decisions when inventory issues arise
