Inventory and Warehouses

Inventory lists the quantity of each product SKU in a warehouse. A warehouse is the physical location where shippable items are stored.

Elastic Path Commerce breaks down the total inventory for a SKU in the following ways:

• On hand: The total amount currently in the warehouse.
• Available: The amount that can be used to fulfill new orders.
• Allocated: The amount allocated to fulfill current orders.
• Reserved: The amount that cannot be used to fulfill orders.

The formula for calculating the available inventory is:

Available = On hand - (Allocated + Reserved)
