Stock availability

This page is outdated. Please go to our new documentation under https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation.

Introduction

Fulfillmenttools can act as the central source for stock information. It calculates and provides:

• Stock that is physically present in a facility (Stock on Hand)

• Stock that is available to be sold (Available on Stock)

• Stock that is available to be sold & picked in a store or warehouse (Available for Picking)

• Stock that is expected to arrive based on deliveries of goods, production, transfers from other facilities, etc. (Expected)

Stock information can be:

• queried via api/stocks/summaries or api/stockdistribution

• derived from the InventoryFacilityStockChangedWebHookEvent

• viewed in the Stock Overview in the Backoffice

As an alternative, you can directly consume and operate on our stocks, i.e., get all stock entities and calculate the availabilities that you need in your software.

Stock on Hand (On hand)

Describes stock which is physically located in a facility. Stock that is, for example, still booked to the facility but is already in transit to another facility is not included.

Available on Stock (AOS)

Available on stock describes stock which is available for selling (not been earmarked for other purposes). In our platform it refers to stock that is accessible, reduced by:

• stock that is reserved for orders

• safety stock, i.e., stock that is held back for offline sales
• expired stock (if defined)

• stock that has reached its availableUntil value (if defined)

Available for Picking (AFP)

Available for picking describes stock which is available (not been earmarked for other purposes), and also ready to be picked. In our platform it refers to all stock that is accessible and pickable, reduced by:

• stock that is reserved for orders

• safety stock, i.e., stock that is held back for offline sales
• expired stock (if defined)

• stock that has reached its availableUntil value (if defined)

Expected Stock

Incoming stock that is expected to arrive or to be produced. Expected stock can be communicated via the inbound process. After an inboundProcess with a purchaseOrder was created, our systems automatically create expected stock for the requested items. Expected stock is visible in the stock overview in the Backoffice. Once a purchase order was created, its expected stock can be considered in the shop availability. Go here for more information.
