Fulfilment Sale

When orders are fulfilled in stores, the Store Fulfilment module sends an event to the Inventory Catalogue to confirm the fulfilled quantity. This will trigger a recalculation of the Inventory Position and any related Virtual Positions.

Fulfilment Cancellation

When orders are cancelled or short-picked due to a shortage of inventory, the Store Fulfilment module sends an event to the Inventory Catalogue with the cancelled inventory quantities. This will trigger a recalculation of the Inventory and any related Virtual Positions.
