| Inventory List ID | Description | Assigned Site ID | Default In-Stock | On Order Enabled | |

| seasonal-drop | Limited seasonal launch inventory | SiteGenesis |
Review the inventory lists already configured in the instance and the site IDs they support.
Remove the selected inventory list after choosing one or more rows.
Use a unique ID so merchants can immediately tell what this inventory list supports.
Turn this on when products outside the list should still appear in stock for the current site.
This lets a bundle stay available based on its own inventory record instead of checking every bundled product.
Use this when inventory should be finalized later in the order flow. This behavior is not available with Omnichannel Inventory.
| Site ID | Site Name | |
|---|---|---|
| RefArch | Reference Architecture US | |
| SiteGenesis | SiteGenesis Demo Store | |
| RefArchGlobal | Reference Architecture Global | |
| uk-storefront | UK Storefront |
Assign this inventory list to the sites that should use it in Business Manager and on the storefront.
Search by product ID to jump directly to a product record in this inventory list.
Limit the search to products already included in the current inventory list.
Run the search and load the matching product inventory records.
| Product ID | Product Name | Perpetual | Allocation | Reset Date | Turnover | On Order | Stock Level | ATS | Availability | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKU-10045 | Lightweight Trail Sneaker | 250 | 2026-05-01 | 42 | 8 | 200 | 200 | In Stock | ||
| SKU-10073 | Weatherproof Utility Jacket | 120 | 2026-05-01 | 119 | 0 | 1 | 25 | Preorder | ||
| SKU-10091 | Weekend Duffel Bag | 0 | 2026-05-01 | 0 | 0 | Unlimited | Unlimited | In Stock |
Review the current inventory values before opening a product record for editing.
This inventory record belongs to the selected product.
Use this when the storefront should treat the product as always available instead of tracking a finite quantity.
This is the starting quantity used to calculate sellable stock when perpetual availability is turned off.
When allocation resets, the baseline quantity starts over from this date.
Choose how the storefront should respond once regular stock reaches zero.
This adds the quantity customers can still buy after normal stock is depleted.
Show when fresh inventory is expected to become available.
Turnover tracks exported stock transactions that happened after the last allocation reset.
On Order captures unexported inventory transactions that are still pending finalization.
Stock level is the remaining on-hand inventory after subtracting turnover and on-order units from the allocation.
ATS is the quantity the storefront can actually sell, including preorder or backorder rules when they apply.
This summarizes the product’s current storefront availability based on the inventory values above.
Step Guidance
Start in Merchant Tools > Products & Catalogs > Inventory to review the inventory lists available in the instance and see which sites already use them.
Set the inventory list ID and description, then choose how the list should handle default availability, bundle availability, and on-order allocation.
Choose the sites that should use this inventory list. The assignments determine where the list becomes active.
Use the Records tab to search for products already tracked by the inventory list and inspect calculated availability values.
Update the product’s allocation settings, backorder behavior, and calculated inventory values to reflect the expected storefront availability.
Inventory behavior combines site assignment, product record values, and optional preorder or backorder rules.
