Stock Allocation
Stock allocation refers to the percentage of stock that is designated for each sales channel. For instance, if there are 100 units in stock and the allocation is 80% for Lazada and 90% for Shopee, then 80 units will be reserved for Lazada and 90 units for Shopee.
| Sales Channel | Allocation | Quantity Allocated |
|---|---|---|
Lazada | 90% | 90 |
Shopee | 80% | 80 |
Total: 100 |
The allocation is not a static value, as it may change based on sales performance. For example, if 7 units are sold on Lazada and 3 units on Shopee, the total sold units will be 10, and the allocation for Lazada will be recalculated to 80% of the remaining 90 units, which is now 72 units, while the allocation for Shopee will be 90% of the remaining 90 units, which is now 81 units.
| Sales Channel | Allocation | Quantity Allocated |
|---|---|---|
Lazada | 90% | 81 |
Shopee | 80% | 72 |
Total: 90 |
Stock allocation can be used to help sellers allocate stock to different channels based on their demand and prevent overselling.
