Committed stock is supported in Flxpoint Standard. This guide explains what “Committed Stock” is, how it affects Available Quantity, where it comes from, how it’s released, and how to enable/disable it per source. Learn through quick tutorials, practical how-tos, clear explanations, and a concise reference.

🧪 Tutorials

1) Read the Quantity Card (at a glance)

Open any Inventory Variant. On the right, the Quantity card shows:

• Available Quantity = Total Quantity − Committed Stock
• Total Quantity = quantity from the supplier/source feed
• Committed Stock = units reserved by Fulfillment Request (FR) generation

2) Simulate the FR → Shipment flow

1. Create an order and generate an FR to a source. Notice Committed Stock increases.
2. Import the shipment for that FR (manually or via integration).
3. Observe Committed Stock decrease and Available update accordingly.

🛠️ How-to Guides

A. Enable or Disable Committed Stock per Source

1. Go to Connections → Fulfillment Sources and open the source.
2. Open the Settings (or Orders/Shipments section).
3. Find Committed Stock and choose:
   • Enabled (default): FRs reserve stock; release occurs on shipment import.
   • Disabled: FRs do not hold stock; Available equals the incoming feed.
4. Click Save.

B. View Committed Stock on a Variant

1. Go to Products → Inventory and select a variant.
2. Check the Quantity card: Available / Total / Committed.

C. Release Committed Stock (Standard)

1. Obtain the supplier’s shipment (tracking) for the FR.
2. Import the shipment into Flxpoint for that FR.
3. Verify Committed Stock decreases and Available recalculates.

D. Troubleshooting

• Committed looks “stuck” → Confirm the shipment was imported for the FR. If the source never sends shipments, disable Committed Stock for that source.
• Available seems low → Check recent FRs and ensure shipments were processed; remember Available = Total − Committed.
• Totals look off → Confirm the latest supplier feed ran and the variant is mapped correctly.

🔍 Explanation

Key Definitions

• Total Quantity: The current on-hand value from the supplier/source feed.
• Committed Stock: Units reserved when an FR is generated.
• Available Quantity: What Flxpoint exposes to channels: Total − Committed.

Lifecycle in Standard

1. Order created → FR generated → units move into Committed.
2. Supplier fulfills → shipment imported into Flxpoint.
3. Flxpoint releases those units from Committed; Available recalculates.
