Ø There are 4 inventory systems, they are:

1. ATP inventory.

2. Non-ATP inventory.

3. No inventory.

4. External inventory.

ATP Inventory: The ATP inventory model enables you to allocate stock from existing inventory or backorder from expected inventory. You can also obtain an estimated availability time for each order item once it has been added into the shopping cart. The ATP also supports allocating stocks for future order processing.

Non-ATP Inventory: The non-ATP inventory model supports inventory operations that are only based on existing on-hand inventory.

No Inventory: The no inventory model assumes that all products have infinite quantities. When the products in a store are virtual products, digital downloadable products, or electronic assets, such as downloadable images or music.

External Inventory: External inventory is used for Websphere Commerce and some external inventory systems integration. For integration with other inventory systems, you might select ATP, non-ATP, or No-inventory inventory system based on the specific inventory system and integration scenario.
