Behavior

What It Does

1. Checks if all order lines are virtual products (skips if so)
2. Collects SKU codes from all non-virtual product line items
3. Recalculates reserved inventory quantities for the SKU list by checking all open orders
4. The service recalculates reserved quantities by checking all orders in non-delivered, non-canceled statuses

Prerequisites

• Order must have non-virtual product line items
• Inventory service must be configured

Side Effects

• Reserved inventory counts are recalculated from order data
• May adjust reserved counts up or down based on actual orders
• Affects all warehouses where the SKUs exist

Business Cases

When to Use

• Inventory correction: When reserved counts have drifted from reality
• After bulk operations: Following imports or bulk updates
• Order modifications: After significant changes to order quantities
• System recovery: After data issues or migrations

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Data Correction Reserved inventory counts are incorrect due to a previous bug. Running this step recalculates correct values from current order data.

Scenario 2: Return Processing Order is returned. Step recalculates reserved inventory to reflect the changed order state.

Scenario 3: Order Completion Order marked complete. Step recalculates to ensure reserved counts exclude this now-completed order.

Scenario 4: All Virtual Products Order contains only digital/virtual products. Step returns success immediately without processing.
