Here is a list of common terms and definitions from the Locad dashboard.


TypeTermDefinition
Inventory ProductInventory SKUThe SKU of the physical product in the Locad warehouse.
Inventory Product
Warehouse StockThe total stock of the SKU in the Locad warehouse
Inventory Product
Buffer StockThe physical stock at the warehouse that is not part of the Sellable or Reserved stock. It is kept aside as a buffer in case of exchanges, promotions, or any other purpose you would require.

You can set the following per SKU:
  • % of warehouse stock available 
  • Minimum units of buffer stock


Note: If you set both a percentage of stock and the number of units, our platform will use whichever has a HIGHER.


Example 1:


Warehouse Stock of SKU A is 100 quantities. It has the following settings:

  • % of warehouse stock available = 10%
  • Minimum units of buffer stock = 5


10 quantities will be applied as buffer as 10% of 100 quantities is 10, which is higher than the minimum buffer.


Example 2:


Warehouse Stock of SKU A is 20 quantities. It has the following settings:

  • % of warehouse stock available = 10%
  • Minimum units of buffer stock = 5


5 quantities will be applied as buffer as 10% of 20 quantities is 2, which is lower than the minimum buffer.

Inventory Product

Reserve Stock

The stock that is reserved for orders in an ONHOLD, PREORDER, NEW, PARTIAL and UNPAID status on the Locad dashboard.
Inventory Product
Available StockThe stock that is available to sell in your online stores.
Available Stock = Warehouse Stock - Reserved Stock - Buffer Stock - Locked Stock
Inventory Product
Total Locked StockThe sum of locked stock from all catalogue SKUs mapped to the inventory product. See "Marketplace Locked Stock" for definition of locked stock.
Catalogue Product
Catalogue SKUThe SKU of the active product listing from your integrated online store.
Catalogue Product

Marketplace Stock

The stock that is showing on the product listing of the specific online store.
Catalogue Product
Sellable StockThe stock that is available to sync to the product listing of the specific online store. Normally, Marketplace Stock will be the same as Sellable Stock unless there is stock synchronization delay or the marketplace blocks the stock update due to locked stock.

This is calculated based on:
Sellable Stock = Available Stock + Locked Stock of this Product Listing
Catalogue Product
Marketplace Locked StockThe stock that your online store reserves for a promotional activity such as a flash sale or campaign (on marketplaces such as Shopee and Lazada). This does not reserve any stock at the Locad warehouse so you should ensure you have sufficient stock on hand for campaigns and sales.
Catalogue Product
Stock Cover (Days)Amount of time the current stock will last given the current rate of sales based on the days selected.

Example:
Stock Cover (14 days) = (Current stock) / (Number of items sold in the last 14 days) * 14
