Netsuite Inventory question: A transfer order has all the inventory committed to it, but I am still able to assign inventory to fulfillment's. Why is this happening?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the inventory commitment and fulfillment are two separate processes. When you commit inventory to a transfer order, it means that the system has reserved that inventory for that specific order. However, this does not prevent the inventory from being assigned to fulfillments. The reason you are still able to assign inventory to fulfillments, even though all the inventory is committed to a transfer order, is because the commitment process does not physically move the inventory out of your available stock. It simply earmarks it for a specific order. Until the inventory is actually fulfilled and shipped, it remains in your available stock and can still be assigned to other fulfillments. This allows for flexibility in managing your inventory. For example, if an urgent order comes in, you can still fulfill it using the inventory that is committed to a transfer order. Once the inventory is fulfilled and shipped, it will then be deducted from your available stock. Remember, the commitment is just a reservation, not a physical movement of inventory. The actual reduction in your available stock only happens when the inventory is fulfilled and shipped. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
