Inventory Types

WMS includes two inventory types: Allocatable (Available) and Unallocatable (Unavailable) Inventory.

Available/Allocatable Inventory

Available/Allocatable inventory is any inventory that is located in a reserve or active location that has not been allocated against an outbound order.

Unavailable/Unallocatable Inventory

Unavailable/Unallocatable inventory is any inventory that is either allocated for an outbound order, or is in a status that won’t allow for allocation. Below are the basic scenarios for unavailable inventory:
  1. Received inventory that has not been putaway (configurable)
  2. Inventory undergoing VAS processes
  3. Inventory located in a Drop Zone
  4. Inventory associated with outbound LPNs
  5. Inventory in locations with lock codes (and the lock code is configured as Unallocatable)
