why does the inventory module have to run overnight?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The inventory module typically runs overnight due to the large amount of data processing involved. This process includes calculations based on in-transit, on-hand, and on-order inventory, as well as the retrieval of inventory detail fields. Running these processes overnight helps to minimize the impact on system performance during peak usage hours. Moreover, running the inventory module overnight can help to avoid discrepancies that might occur due to activities such as transfer orders being made during the day. For instance, if a transfer order is made between the time the first report is run and the second report, it could potentially skew the numbers. By running the inventory module overnight, it ensures that all transactions made during the day are accounted for and reflected accurately in the reports. However, it's important to note that there might be some issues with scheduled scripts not running as expected. If a scheduled script stops running at a certain time without any errors, it might be due to the script not being scheduled to run daily with no end date. In terms of recognizing inventory, it's crucial to note that even when inventory is in transit, it's still technically owned by the company until confirmation of receipt by the customer. Therefore, it's important to recognize inventory at all times, even momentarily, as it can impact interim month-end and year-end reporting. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
