On top of the page, basic information specified in the listing is displayed. This includes title, attributes, and tenantArticleId. Below, information on stock availability is provided.

Future Stock Movements

The future stock movements graph and table are accessible via the tab navigation at the top of the page. The graph shows the development of stock that is 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)

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

What is stock "on hand"?

How is the "Reservations" value calculated?

The "Reserved" value shows the number of reservations accepted for the item in the facility. This means reservations for all orders that were assigned to the facility for fulfillment are shown, including reservations on expected stock that has not arrived in the facility yet.

What does "not available" mean?

What does "blocked" mean?

Blocked refers to the amount of stock that is stored on locked locations. Locations might be locked due to, e.g., water damage, infestion, or similar. In detail, locked means that a location or stock does not have the ACCESSIBLE trait.

What is safety stock and how do I edit it?

Safety stock works as a buffer, ensuring that online sales do not cannibalize offline sales. If the safety stock is reached within a facility, the facility is not considered for routing any more so that no online orders are accepted to be fulfilled from it.

Safety stock can be configured on facility level by clicking on the three-dot menu on the right. Users can configure a different safety stock quantity for each listing.
