Feature Description
Differences Between Inventory Management Methods
The available data sources, target SKU selection method, and inventory handling differ depending on the inventory management method.
Data Sources
Inventory Management (New Method):
The following data sources are available in Inventory Management (New Method).

| Order Confirmation Lines | Create delivery notes based on lines from confirmed order confirmations. |
| Undelivered SKU | Create delivery notes based on Backlog SKU data created from orders. |
With Order Confirmation Lines, select the target SKUs and then specify delivery quantities from lines belonging to multiple orders for the same buyer. Lines that meet the required conditions can be combined from multiple orders into one delivery note.
Inventory Management (Conventional Method):
The following data sources are available in Inventory Management (Conventional Method).
| Data source | Description |
|---|---|
| Undelivered SKU | Create delivery notes based on Backlog SKU data created from orders. |
