Retailers might need a solution to separate stock for several channels to avoid overselling specific SKUs by mapping the available stock into different virtual locations. Every virtual location will be assigned to one sales channel so that it won't affect the stock allocation in another virtual location.

You can customize the table by filtering data using the Filters button and choose which column to show by clicking the Columns button.
