Expected stock

Summary

Expected stock is stock that is not present in a facility yet but is expected to arrive based on inbound processes. It is displayed as "expected stock" in the stock overview and can, for example, be taken into account already for sales availability in web shops.

Description

Creation and management of expected stock

Expected stock is automatically created after a new inbound process with a corresponding purchase order was added. Expected stock can only be managed via the purchase order and cannot directly be edited via API. Quantities, attributes, etc. of expected stock can be edited by patching the requestedItems of the purchaseOrder.

Properties and available until on expected stock

Similar to stocks, expected stock can have properties and an availableUntil value. Stock properties can be specified in the requestedItems of the purchaseOrder. They can be used, for example, to communicate an expiry date for expected goods so that the future inventory availability can already be adapted before the goods were accepted. The available until values is calculated and set automatically if configured in the listing.
