The Inventory System provides management of the inventory of items in the catalog. It lets you update the inventory for all items and monitors depletion. It allows for import and export of inventory to and from external systems.

The inventory system provides the following inventory control functions:

• Inventory information for products, including current OnHand quantities, an out of stock threshold, and whether the item can be back-ordered and to what quantity.

• Pipeline components to check and update inventory during purchases.

• API to display the inventory information to the customer. This lets you filter product catalog categories and products based on if the items are in stock.

• API for external line-of-business systems to update inventory.

The Inventory system has a hard dependency on a Commerce Server site. It is not possible to use the Inventory system without a Commerce Server site.
