Inventory models
The inventory model object and the allowed CRUD operations on the related resource endpoint
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.
The list of inventory stock locations determines the availability of SKUs that are being purchased. The list of inventory return locations determines the available options for returns.
Inventory strategies
In case the inventory model strategy is left as default – no split – just a single shipment from a single stock location is always created.
Stock reservation settings
Draft stock reservations (i.e. created before the order placement) have a default expiration date of 1 hour. You can override the default duration by setting the inventory model stock_reservation_cutoff
attribute to the desired value (expressed in seconds).
Any change to the stock reservations expiration date won't affect existing stock reservations. It will be applied to the ones created after the update only.
Manual stock decrementation
By default as soon as an order is approved the related stock item quantities are decremented and all the involved stock reservations cancelled. If you need to manually manage the stock decrementation and the concomitant stock reservation cancellation at any time after the order approval, you can override this behavior by setting the manual_stock_decrement
flag to true
.
Please note that the manual stock decrementation does not happen at the order level, but you need to perform it at the shipment or (if you need more granular control on the action) at the stock line item level.
