# Omnichannel Inventory Reservations

When a customer places an order, the system reserves inventory to fulfill the order and a reservation is created. When a reservation is assigned to a location group, you can implement business rules to transfer it to a specific location for fulfillment.

For example, when a shopper places an online order for several products the system creates reservations for the ordered products at the location group containing the online store’s fulfillment locations. Business rules calculate the most efficient set of locations in the group that can fulfill all the reservations from the order. The system then transfers the reservations to the individual locations and each location fulfills its reservations.
