Inventory reservation
Inventory reservation refers to the quantity of an item that is placed on hold to cater to a customer's specific demand.
Items that are less in stock can be reserved to fulfill an order. Reservation helps in allocating inventory to high priority customers or first come first basis.
The sales order pipeline added by Deployment Accelerator
creates reservation before orders are placed. For example, draft orders that are created with
reservation can go through alternative status such as Draft Order Reserved
.
Similarly, confirmed orders that are created with reservation can go through alternative status such
as Reserved
.
The sales order pipeline that is provided by Deployment Accelerator allows the creation of reservations for
sales orders. The Reserved
status indicates that the sales order is created with a
reservation. The pipeline also provides appropriate statuses for accepting and rejecting
reservations.
