An inventory model defines a list of stock locations ordered by priority. The priority and cutoff determine how the availability of SKUs gets calculated within a market. If an order contains line items from two or more stock locations, the order is split into two or more shipments, one for each location.
The inventory model object
An inventory model object is returned as part of the response body of each successful list, retrieve, create or update API call.
