B2B Inventory Availability: A Practical Guide for Ordering

OLT calculates displayed B2B availability from inventory records when the catalog is read. Buyers can review per-location inventory records and recorded expected receipts, but the display does not reserve stock or guarantee availability at checkout.

• Catalog-read availability Calculate displayed availability from inventory records when the catalog is read; inventory can change afterward.
• Per-location inventory records Review separate inventory records for each warehouse location available to the buyer.
• Expected-receipt review Review recorded incoming inventory and expected receipt dates as purchase-planning inputs, not on-hand stock.
