As your inventory ages, it is essential to adjust your assigned strategies to become more aggressive and avoid being hit by Amazon's storage fees.

To automate this process, you'll want to set up an age of inventory workflow for your listings.

This Workflow works like a personal assistant, monitoring your listings on a schedule (for example, every hour) and updating listing strategies once they hit the time limit you choose.

First, create a new Workflow that triggers on a schedule at a time interval of your choice. We recommend using the 1 hour trigger as that is the option with the highest frequency.

Next, add a Filter block and choose Filter by age of inventory. You can then set your criteria based on the specific number of units that are aging or a percentage of the total inventory for that listing.

You can have this apply to one or multiple age ranges by checking the boxes next to each age range.

Lastly, add the Set strategy action and choose which strategy these listings should update to (e.g., a more aggressive strategy) and make sure that it's nested as is shown below.

This will have Aura automatically adjust your strategy when the number of units or percentage of inventory enter your selected age range.
