There are two ways of stock check that are used in Prima:
1. Live stock check - this can be performed against vendors who provide a live stock check system to retrieve the stock level at the time that you press the button to do so.
2. Stock feed - some vendors only provide a stock feed, this figure is displayed before you click the 'Stock Check' button within the stock checker function and can be seen in the vendor stock against the line. This figure pulls directly from a feed on the FTP site for the vendor.
If you try to click the 'Stock Check' button within the 'Stock Checker' function the message 'missing product information' will display as there is no further information that can be obtained.
