Pause campaign if reach for stock level is low

Timo Dreger
I'm looking for a way to automatically pause campaigns when the existing stock only lasts for x days.
I haven't found this option, even though you apparently have this data.
The only option seems to be manually defining the stock level.
However, this is impractical for me, as I have numerous SKUs with varying sales figures, and also some SKUs with very low stock levels because they are rarely purchased.
Is this feature in development? I would greatly appreciate being able to use it.

Title: Inventory-Aware Bidding Based on ASIN Stock Coverage
Add ASIN-level inventory conditions to bidding rules so advertising automatically slows when an ASIN is at risk of stocking out.
Calculate coverage from each ASIN’s trailing 180-day sales velocity:
Average daily sales = units sold in the last 180 days ÷ in-stock days
Days of stock = available inventory ÷ average daily sales
Exclude out-of-stock days so previous stockouts do not artificially reduce velocity. For newer ASINs, use all available history. Let users choose whether inventory includes only FBA sellable units or also FBA inbound/AWD.
Inventory should act as a safety multiplier on top of the normal bidding rule:
Final bid = normal rule bid × inventory multiplier
Example:
* Above 60 days: no adjustment
* 45–60 days: reduce bids 20%
* 30–45 days: reduce bids 40%
* Below 30 days: reduce bids 70% or pause
* When stock exceeds a separate recovery threshold, restore normal bidding automatically
All thresholds and actions must be configurable. Actions should include reducing bids or budgets, pausing the affected product/campaign, sending an alert, and automatically re-enabling advertising after recovery.
Safeguards:
* Reductions must not compound each time the rule runs
* Inventory rules must override normal bid increases while stock is constrained
* Recovery must restore active bidding automation, not an outdated fixed bid
* Healthy-stock ASINs must not be affected by a low-stock ASIN sharing a campaign
* Record every action in the Change Log
* Support Bulk File assignment and saved ASIN groups
Pacvue already provides this type of commerce-aware automation. It uses Weeks of Cover to apply progressively stronger bid reductions as inventory falls and can pause or restart campaigns based on real-time inventory conditions:
* Weeks of Cover and tiered bid reductions
* Bid and budget adjustments based on Weeks on Hand
This would reduce avoidable stockouts, protect organic ranking, preserve inventory for organic demand, and eliminate daily manual monitoring across thousands of ASINs.

Status Rule based on days of supply

Currently the status can be set to paused if the number of units is below a defined amount.
But changing the rule to be triggered by days of supply would be much more useful, especially for seasonal products. It would be a rule that could be equally applied to products that are slow moving vs high velocity sales.
