Instead, the salable quantity<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>gets reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While. the quantity of the product decrease only after shipping is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The salable quantity is updated when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The physical quantity in warehouse changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A new order is placed by the customer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magento 2 MSI removes the limitation of relying on a single inventory system only. Now, the merchants can manage their inventory in more than one locations to accurately reflect their physical inventories without any 3rd party extensions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The salable quantity is stored in view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the workflow of order placement &amp; changes in Magento salable quantity and quantity:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Magento 2 Salable Quantity vs Quantity   Know the Difference\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tjsmy9QALsg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a customer places an order, the salable quantity is reduced. Note that, the quantity is not decreased even when the order is placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now when the admin creates the shipment for the order from the backend, we can see that the quantity is reduced as well.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/get-salable-quantity-information-after-product-is-saved-in-magento-2\/\">Get salable quantity information after product is saved in Magento 2<\/a>&nbsp;to maintain the well-structured inventory grid<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, do share the solution with the Magento community via social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magento 2 Multi-Source Inventory&nbsp;was introduced in the&nbsp;Magento 2.3.3&nbsp;version release.
