Inventory & reservations

Central inventory is the authority for stock visible on specialist catalogues.

• Reservations — hold stock while an order is in pick/pack; expired holds auto-release on daily cleanup.
• Low-stock threshold — surfaces SKUs that need replenishment.
• Push jobs — queue-driven stock updates to connected stores.
• Inbound webhooks — warehouse systems can post quantity changes to the hub API.

After a restore, re-import authoritative stock then run inventory push before opening the queue.
