Description
The platform now supports an extended Inventory Quantity data model that allows additional stock metadata to be captured alongside Inventory Quantities. To support these capabilities within existing inventory ingestions, the`UpsertInventoryQuantity` rule has been enhanced to persist additional Inventory Quantity attributes when Inventory Quantities are created or updated.This enables retailers to capture extended stock metadata - such as supplier details, manufacturer batch number, country of origin, association references, and other segmentation attributes - directly on Inventory Quantities without changing existing ingestion patterns. By allowing these attributes to be stored as part of inventory processing workflows, retailers can begin enriching their inventory data pipelines with segmentation-ready data.📢 Future Development AnnouncementThe improvements highlighted above extend the Inventory Reference Module so that richer Inventory Quantity data can be captured and retained as part of inventory ingestion. This supports the broader Future Inventory and Stock Segmentation direction, which is designed to help businesses differentiate stock for the same product and location by attributes such as supplier, condition, sales channel, manufacturer batch number, and future availability. This release focuses on storing the additional Inventory Quantity attributes introduced in the updated inventory data model. In future, these foundations are expected to support richer reference workflow patterns for segmented stock, future inventory, and more fine-grained availability scenarios. Examples include working with stock grouped by source or allocation, tracking expected deliveries, and supporting availability views over time.
Changelog
Rules
`UpsertInventoryQuantity` rule has been updated to support additional Inventory Quantity attributes provided through `inventoryQuantity.attributes`:- The rule now processes and persists the following attributes when present:
`associationType``associationRef``parentRef``expectedOn``expiresOn``condition``storageAreaRef``supplier``manufacturer``manufacturerBatchNumber``countryOfOrigin``channel``segment1``segment2``segment3`
- The rule also introduces parsing and validation support for the
`expiresOn`date attribute - These attributes are applied when Inventory Quantities are created or updated through the rule
Limitations
- This enhancement enables the UpsertInventoryQuantity rule to persist the extended Inventory Quantity attributes introduced in the updated inventory data model. The Inventory Reference Module focuses on capturing and storing these attributes as part of inventory ingestion. The business logic that determines how these attributes influence inventory calculations, virtual segmentation models, or availability logic remains implementation-specific. Retailers can use these attributes to enrich their inventory data and design custom workflows that leverage the expanded inventory data model.
