With Cross-Subsidiary Fulfillment, users can order an item from a subsidiary website regardless of inventory level at that subsidiary as long as there is sufficient inventory to fulfill the order at a related subsidiary. The inventory available to the customer equals the inventory level at the subsidiary with the highest quantity of an item. It is not a combined total of inventory for the item at all subsidiary locations.
Example:
- Subsidiary One has 15 blue widgets in inventory.
- Subsidiary Two has 25 blue widgets in inventory.
Customer on Subsidiary One website wants to order 20 blue widgets. The order is fulfilled from Subsidiary Two.
