Inventory Batch Processing

Reference Module Solution

In the Reference Inventory module, we have provided a solution for Inventory Batch Processing. This solution uses a typical starting point for integrating batch updates to your Inventory Flows.

The solution uses the most common Inventory Quantity types to calculate an accurate STOCK ON HAND quantity.

The reference quantity types are:

• LAST_ON_HAND: This is an absolute value representing the count of inventory at a given store on the last batch update.
• RESERVED: Reserved quantities are created as part of the fulfilment reservation process. These are created during Order orchestration to represent inventory that is currently on hold awaiting an order fulfilment.
• SALE: Sale quantities are created as part of the fulfilment sale process. These are created during Fulfilment Orchestration to represent items that have been picked and fulfilled into an order for a customer.
• CORRECTION: Correct quantities are created as part of the fulfilment cancellation process. These are created during Fulfilment Orchestration to represent items that were not found in the location and so must be short-picked. This will remove those items from the sale.
• DELTA: Delta quantities are created via externally triggered events. These are created to represent relative incremental changes to inventory that have occurred in external systems from the Order Management.

These quantity types are used to calculate the STOCK ON HAND (value, this value represents the current available inventory for that Inventory Position.
