Important Notes

When Disabling Inventory Operations in Undelivered SKU Data Source

When the Undelivered SKU data source is selected, inventory operations can be disabled.

Slips can be created by reserving only Backlog SKUs, without considering reserved inventory.

However, because the system automatically registers additional inventory data before allocating Partner Inventory, the total inventory count in the brand environment will genuinely increase.

If you are using DEXTRE as your core inventory management system, please be careful as this will cause discrepancies in inventory counts.
