Stock Reservation

Stock Reservation prevents automated processes from over-allocating a unit of stock

However, it is possible for a human to override this by manually selecting already reserved stock during Stock Allocation ⁠.

How Stock Reservation Works

Sales Orders

Stock which is allocated to a Sales Order line is always reserved to that Sales Order line.

Quotes

When creating a quote, the user will be asked if stock should be reserved for it. This stock will be reserved until the quote expires⁠.

Draft Orders

Stock allocated to draft orders will never act as a reservation. If the user would like to reserve stock, the draft should be converted to an order⁠.

eCommerce Baskets

Stock that is added to an eCommerce basket will be reserved for that basket for the duration of the user’s session. The reservation status will be automatically cleared one hour after the user becomes inactive⁠.
