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.
Multiple inventory model strategies are available. You can select a specific one by setting the
strategy attribute accordingly, depending on how you want your order items to be fulfilled. An inventory model strategy is responsible to decide how many shipments are generated and from which stock location each shipment will be shipped. Based on the selected strategy, if an order contains line items from two or more stock locations, the order can be split into two or more shipments, one for each location. Stock transfers from a stock location (e.g. secondary) to another (e.g. primary) can be created as well.In case the inventory model strategy is left as default – no split – just a single shipment from a single stock location is always created.
