- Considers all cancel reasons.
- If a line is partially shipped (ie. some quantity shipped, remaining quantity cancelled), it is counted as a cancelled line.

- If a connection has two SKUs, one with an in-stock rate of 50%, another with an in-stock rate of 100%, the connection in-stock rate is 75%.
- In-stock rate is calculated only for SKUs with sales in the last X months, to filter out “noise” from SKUs that are not selling.

In-Stock Rate (SKU-level)

- In-Stock Rate (SKU-level) = Time In Stock divided by Total Time.
