Overview

Spare stocks (also known as “Buffer Stocks”) will not be available in your online stores and can be used as reserved stocks if overselling arises. Having these can help you avoid order cancellations due to overselling.

EXAMPLE

Warehouse Stock: 10
Spare Stock: 3
Available Stock: 7 (Only 7 stocks will be pushed to bound online stores)
– If overselling happens, you may deduct the spare stock to offset the negative Available Stock

BEFORE:
Warehouse Stock: 10
Locked: 8
Available Stock: -1
Spare Stock: 3 (Deduct 1 stock from Spare so Available Stock will become 0 and oversell orders can still be fulfilled)

AFTER:
Warehouse Stock: 10
Locked: 8
Available Stock (+1): 0
Spare Stock (-1): 2
