Learn about inventory management fundamentals See the Inventory API documentation for programmatic access ## Back Ordering The following example shows a situation in which you want to track negative inventory quantities in order to keep your inventory totals accurate at the end of each day after counting and entering incoming stock. Because you know that you're going to receive new stock, you also want to allow shoppers to backorder items, and you also want to mark items as fulfilled as necessary. In the following example, you've already enabled **Allow fulfillment without stock on hand** for the location, and you've enabled **Allow backordering** for a specific product. 1. You start with the following product inventory quantities: Example of default product inventory quantities set to 0 * **Available**: 0 * **On Reserve**: 0 * **On Hand**: 0 * **On Backorder**: 0 2. A shopper places an order for three of the product, which creates the following inventory quantities: Example of a product with 3 quantity on reserve and 3 on backorder * **Available**: 0 * **On Reserve**: 3 * **On Hand**: 0 * **On Backorder**: 3 3. You then mark two out of the three items as fulfilled in Kibo eCommerce: Example of a product with 1 quantity on reserve, 3 on backorder, and -2 on hand * **Available**: 0 * **On Reserve**: 1 * **On Hand**: -2 * **On Backorder**: 3\ The -2 *on-hand* quantity is essentially your *fulfillment debt*. 4. You then receive five quantities of the product, and add this to your on-hand quantity: Example of a product with 2 quantity available, 1 on reserve, 3 on hand, and 0 on backorder * **Available**: 2 * **On Reserve**: 1 * **On Hand**: 3 * **On Backorder**: 0\ Your fulfillment debt is subtracted from the on-hand quantity, and Kibo eCommerce calculates the available quantity. The on backorder quantity also returns to zero, because you now have enough on-hand quantity to fulfill the remaining on reserve quantity. 5. You fulfill the remaining item: Example of a product with 2 quantity available, 2 on hand, and 0 on reserve and backorder * **Available**: 2 * **On Reserve**: 0 * **On Hand**: 2 * **On Backorder**: 0 ## Manual Inventory Adjustment In the following example, you manually adjust your on-hand quantity after performing an inventory audit, even after shoppers have placed orders for the product: 1. You start with the following product inventory quantities: Example of a product with 3 quantity available, 4 on reserve, 8 on hand, and 0 on backorder * **Available**: 3 * **On Reserve**: 5 * **On Hand**: 8 * **On Backorder**: 0 2. You then perform an inventory audit and manually set your on-hand quantity appropriately: Example of a product with 0 quantity available, 5 on reserve, 2 on hand, and 3 on backorder * **Available**: 0 * **On Reserve**: 5 * **On Hand**: 2 * **On Backorder**: 3 3. You mark one item as fulfilled: Example of a product with 0 quantity available, 4 on reserve, 1 on hand, and 3 on backorder * **Available**: 0 * **On Reserve**: 4 * **On Hand**: 1 * **On Backorder**: 3 4. You mark three items as fulfilled: Example of a product with 0 quantity available, 1 on reserve, -2 on hand, and 3 on backorder * **Available**: 0 * **On Reserve**: 1 * **On Hand**: -2 * **On Backorder**: 3 5. You then receive five quantities of the product, and add this to your on-hand quantity: Example of a product with 2 quantity available, 1 on reserve, 3 on hand, and 0 on backorder * **Available**: 2 * **On Reserve**: 1 * **On Hand**: 3 * **On Backorder**: 0 6. You fulfill the remaining item: Example of a product with 2 quantity available, 0 on reserve, 2 on hand, and 0 on backorder * **Available**: 2 * **On Reserve**: 0 * **On Hand**: 2 * **On Backorder**: 0
