What is the current availability, and how is it calculated?

The current availability of a Product Variant in the Koi ecommerce platform refers to the real-time quantity of a specific product that is currently available for purchase.

It is calculated by tracking the number of units in Koi's inventory that have not been sold or allocated to pending orders, considering incoming stock, outgoing orders, and adjustments such as returns or cancellations.

Viewing the available inventory for a product variant

A product variant's available inventory can be viewed by going to a Product Page
Selecting the Product Variant 1️⃣
Scrolling down the Availability & Quantity 2️⃣ tabs
Clicking the Current Availability 3️⃣ tab

Understanding the Current Availability table

The Current Availability table outlines how the Total Available for your Product Variant is determined.

The table above shows that Warehouse Location B.B.5.4 has 50 units, with one unit allocated to Order #10648 . As there are 50 units of the product variant on the shelf, with one unit allocated to an order. This leaves 49 units available for sale to other customers.

You can update the inventory quantity for multiple locations within Koi, via the Product Variant Page and the Inventory Location Page.
