The number of units sitting in your warehouse is not the same as what you can promise a customer right now. Some of it is already reserved for an open order. Some of your “available” stock for a dropship SKU is not in your warehouse at all. Using the raw on-hand number overstates what you can sell.
What “available to sell” needs to account for
On-hand stock across your own locations, except warehouses you have flagged as excluded from fulfilment — a damaged-goods location should not inflate what is sellable.
Dropship stock, which is not physically in your warehouse but is legitimately available through a supplier. Tracked as its own pool.
Reservations against existing open orders, subtracted so the number reflects what is really free to sell.
A floor at zero. Even if reservations exceed on-hand plus dropship, the number shown is zero rather than negative.
What runs today in Vedron
The available-stock calculation combines on-hand stock across all included locations, adds dropship stock from its own pool, subtracts active reservations, and floors the result at zero. One number. Every channel — storefront, Amazon, eBay, Allegro, every connected marketplace — reads from it.
The same inventory transaction model supports multi-location transfers and bundle disassembly: moving stock between locations, or breaking a bundle back into its components, is recorded the same way as every other movement.
Common questions
What counts as a “location excluded from production”? A location you have flagged that way. Typically a damaged-goods or quarantine spot — somewhere stock physically exists but is not meant to count toward sellable availability.
How is dropship stock different from a location I own? It is a separate pool because it reflects supplier availability rather than inventory you physically control.
Can available stock ever show as negative? No. The floor is zero.
