Introduction

In this guide is described the new functionality added in core

Overview

Stock Reservations are mainly used to ensure the stock availability to deliver a Sales Order. It is also possible to lock stock not related to any sales order to avoid it consumption. There are 2 main types of reservations:

A Reservation must define the product that is desired to be reserved, and additionally can specify the warehouse, storage bin and/or attribute set value to be reserved. The reserved stock can also be allocated or not:

For example a reservation for 10 Bottles of warehouse Main. Any bottle stored in the warehouse Main can be used to fulfill that reservation. The 10 bottles are reserved from the stock of the storage bin One.

If this reservation is not allocated and there is stock of bottles in other storage bins the reservation can be changed at any moment, by other processes or manually.

If the reservation is allocated it won't be possible to update it to reserve bottles of different storage bins

In the grid it is possible to select and set the desired quantity on any available stock. There are validations to avoid setting quantities higher than the available for the specific stock or than the ordered quantity. The Done button will create and process a reservation if none exists with the selected options, note that if the reservation does not exists and the Done button is pressed without selecting any stock or selecting a quantity below the ordered quantity, when the reservation is processed the system will reserve the remaining quantity with the available stock. If a reservation already exists the reserved stock will appear automatically selected and the Done button will update the reservation with the changes done. It is also possible to flag a stock as allocated.
