| Reservation |
Inventory added to a storefront cart or an order when it’s created. The number of reservations the system has against this inventory. When an item is added to a shopping cart or an order, the item quantity is subtracted from the ATO and ATF totals. Because the item quantity reduces the total quantity available, a reservation guarantees that the item quantity is available at checkout and that the order can be fulfilled. If the item availability is zero, a reservation can’t be made and the product can’t be added to a shopping cart or an order. |
| Safety stock count | Inventory that is intentionally held in reserve that isn’t included in ATO and ATF. |
| Stock keeping unit (SKU) | Unique code that is assigned to each product in your inventory to track the availability and movement of inventory items. |
