How the work connects
Question
A merchant wants to know why stock is unavailable.
Visibility
Review available, allocated, receiving, damaged and held quantities.
Next action
Use the agreed request or approval process rather than treating all stock as ready to ship.
Answer “Why can’t this stock ship?”
A client can understand why a physical quantity differs from the quantity available for orders.
The merchant inventory view distinguishes available stock from quantities allocated, receiving, damaged, held or expired. Use those states to explain a stock question in operational terms.
The warehouse team can focus the conversation on the relevant state and next action.
Give a hold request a clear decision path
Merchant hold requests can require approval or use self-service, according to the selected policy.
A pending request has not yet applied the hold.
This gives both sides a clear distinction between asking for a hold and applying one.

Frequently asked questions
How does SIP help answer availability questions?

When does a client’s hold request affect stock?
Under an approval-required policy, only after an operator approves it. A pending request has not yet applied the hold.
