Is it actually a mutate or do you write off greens and add new yellows?


No idea hoe Amazon did it, but I suspect a inventory transfer from green to yellow. That is properly tracked and accounted. You never use inventory adjustments to move inventory, as tose are literally shooting inventory into the aether (negative adjustments) and creating inventory out of thin air (positive ones), resulting in zero inventory tranparency or traceability.


If you're Enron, you count both as being in the inventory


I heard this second hand; I don’t actually know how the inventory for Fresh worked at the time.
