This field is commonly used by Amazon. Because Amazon cannot pass this info to us via their API, the users are required to input this info manually, if they do not and we send an empty value back to Amazon, they will set it on their end to a default value of 1. This can also be used for other sales channels as a general data field.

Another value used by Amazon that they cannot pass to us over the API forcing users to save this manually. If no Restock Date is set on our end and we send an empty value back, Amazon will disable the field on their end and showing the product as in-stock. This can also be used for other sales channels as a general data field.
