The header displays the listing title and the tenant article ID. Below, availability values give insights on the stock availability of the listing.

The item details container shows all entries stored in the listing attributes as well as the price, out of stock behaviour/configuration, and measurement unit key of the listing.

The storage location container is only shown if storage locations are activated on the tenant. The card shows all storage locations on which the respective article is located in the facility. It provides further details on the stored amount of items, reservations, stock properties, and the traits of the location. The stock on each location can be edited via the three-dot menu. Storage location information can be edited on the storage location view which is accessible via the link on the storage location name.

The stock information container is only shown if if storage locations are deactivated on the tenant or if there is stock in the facility that is not assigned to a storage location.

Users can configure whether it should be allowed to manually change stock levels in the settings of the Network view.

The future stock movements graph shows the development of stock that will be available for picking in the future. The table on the right provides more details into the events that triggered the respective change in stock levels. Stock levels can change due to:

• Delivery of goods: A purchase order was created meaning stock is expected to be delivered for the respective product.

• Stock expires: Stocks have exceeded the date by which they are to be sold (availableUntil date).

If there are no deliveries of goods announced for the future and no products are going to expire in the future no data will be displayed in the card.

The graph does not estimate future sales or other stock movements that systems are not yet aware of.
