Four51 has very basic inventory capabilities centered on presenting storefront inventory balances to end-users, accommodating standard and replenishment orders, generating re-order point notifications and handling orders where order quantity exceeds what’s available. Four51 should not be used as an Inventory Control or warehouse management system. We recommend integration with these systems so Four51 can receive inventory updates from the “master” system as needed.
That said, Four51 can be used to track inventory levels on your products. When customers place standard orders, your inventory will be reduced by the amount that was ordered. When replenishment orders are marked as complete, then your inventory will be increased by the amount that was added.
