Magento took its inventory management system to the next level by introducing MSI in Magento 2.3.0 and above. Magento 2 MSI or Multi Source Inventory gives merchants complete control over their inventory whether it be single channel or multi channel. Stores can create multiple sources of inventory and interlink them with their sales channels. The entire concept of MSI revolves around three key principles i.e Sales channels, Sources, and stocks. It allows store merchants to create multiple sales channels, multiple sources, multiple stocks, and by linking them with each other they can create their desired inventory system. Let us look at different aspects of Magento 2 MSI and how you can use it to fulfill orders and ship products from various locations across your global market.
Sales Channels
Sales channels are the various platforms that you use to sell your products. It can be your physical stores/Brick-and-mortar stores, Amazon Marketplace, store websites etc. For instance, you have three Magento 2 websites selling products across the US, UK, and Australia then these three websites are your sales channels. In Magento 2 MSI you can have multiple sales channels and by creating sources and stocks, the inventory will be automatically managed to fulfill orders.
Sources
The physical location where your goods are located and shipped from is known as Sources in MSI. Any store can have different sources such as distribution centers, warehouses, retail shops, drop shippers, etc. Magento 2 MSI allows you to have single or multiple sources running on your store. Magento out of the box gives you a single source (named default source) but you can create multiple sources as per your requirement. Depending upon the number of sources it is either called to be in single source mode or multi source mode.
You can use the same source with multiple stocks for orders and shipping. For instance, suppose you have a UK warehouse, a US warehouse, and a distribution center in Germany. Now if someone orders a product from your Australia store then Magento determines which source to use for the shipping and fulfillment of this order considering the factors such as available stock, distance, priority, etc. Having multiple sources gives you various options to efficiently ship products to the customers depending upon their requirements.
Managing Sources in Magento 2 MSI
Magento 2 out of the box gives you a default source and the option to create new sources. You are also allowed to add quantities to sources. Let us learn how you can create and manage sources in Magento 2.
Step 1:- Login to your Magento 2 admin panel and navigate to Stores>Inventory>Sources.
Step 2:- Click on Add New Source to create a new source.
Step 3:- Go to the General tab and add information such as name, code, description, and exact location(latitude/longitude). Also set Is Enabled to “yes” to enable the source. Keep in mind to provide the exact location of the source so it can be used to determine the correct source by the source selection algorithm.
Step 4:- Next go to the Contact Info dropdown and add the contact information as shown in the image below:-
Step 5:- Lastly go to the Address Data dropdown and add the necessary information such as country, state, city, street, and postal code. After you have entered the information click on Save & Continue to create your new source.
Stocks
Stocks are a virtual representation of the total number of products available for you to sell via your sales channels. Stocks are used to link sales channels with sources. You can link multiple sources and multiple sales channels using stocks. However, you can assign a single stock to multiple sources but one sales channel can only have one stock.
Stocks utilize the Source Selection Algorithm to determine the suitable source for shipping and fulfillment of orders. Out of the box, Magento gives you a default stock allowing you to run Magento in Single Source Mode. You also have the option to create multiple stocks and map them to sales channels and sources. We will understand more about the sources, stocks, and sales channels mapping in the examples provided in the below section.
Managing Stocks in Magento 2 MSI
Stocks can be easily Managed in Magento. Let us learn how you can create new stocks and assign sources to them.
Step 1:- Login to your Magento 2 Admin panel and navigate to Stores>Inventory>Stocks.
Step 2:- Click on Add New Stock.
Step 3:- In the General dropdown enter the Name of the stock.
Step 4:- Click on the Sales Channels dropdown and assign stock to one or more sales channels. For example, in the below stock we will assign it to our retail website.
Step 5:- Now click on Sources dropdown then click on Assign Sources.
Step 6:- A popup will open before you select sources and click Done. The selected source or sources will be assigned to the stock.
Step 7:- Lastly click Save to create the new stock.
Quantities
Magento 2 MSI has three different concepts of quantities: Salable quantity, Quantity per source, and Reserved quantity. Quantities are used to manage inventory via sources and stocks.
- Salable Quantity:- Salable quantity is the total number of products that you can sell via your sales channels. Stocks have salable quantities. You can also configure a certain quantity to show that when my stock has this number of products left it shows Out of stock. So the Salable quantity is calculated from the total quantity of the stock minus the configured out-of-stock quantity. For example, we have a total quantity of stock as 100 and we have configured the Out of stock quantity to be 10. Now when my stock quantity reaches 100 it will show out of stock. The salable quantity, in this case, would be:- Total quantity – Out of stock = 100-10 = 90.
- Quantity Per Source:- When you have multiple sources in your Magento 2 store and sources are also assigned to stocks. Then for each source, the total number of quantities available is known as Quantity Per Source. You can also configure a quantity so when the quantity per source reaches that specific quantity you will get a notification.
- Reserved Quantity:- When an order is placed with a certain number of products on the store then that quantity is booked until shipping, which is known as Reserved Quantity. For example, suppose an order is placed with 10 quantities in the store and the total salable quantity is 100 then 10 quantities are booked before shipping which is the Reserved quantity. Until the shipping is done your salable quantity reduces to 90 so the customers can only place orders for the remaining quantity. Once shipping is done then finally quantity is also reduced from the main available stock or quantity per source.
Managing Product Inventory
Magento 2 enables you to manage product inventory based on sources and quantities. You can manually assign sources to a product and also add desired quantities in them. Let us see how you can add sources to a product:-
Note:- No matter what quantity is specified with a source customers won’t be able to order more than the total quantity in the stock. The total source stock will be the limit.
Step 1:- Login to your admin panel and navigate to Catalog>Products then select and product and click “edit” from the Action column.
Step 2:- Scroll down until you find Sources dropdown. Here click on Assign Sources.
Step 3:- A menu will pop up before you. Select one or more sources that you want to assign to the product and click Done.
Step 4:- Lastly, enter the desired quantity for the source and click Save.
Step 5:- Once you have saved the product go to Catalog>Products and you should be able to see your newly added source.
Source Selection Algorithm
Source Selection Algorithm or SSA is one of the key features of Magento 2 MSI(Multi Source Inventory) which decides which source to select for fulfillment of a shipment. It includes two main algorithms known as Source Priority and Distance priority. Based on the algorithm selected the source is decided for a shipment.
- Distance Priority Algorithm:- Distance priority algorithm utilizes Google Maps to calculate the shortest distance of the shipping address(associated with order) to a source and automatically selects the nearest source for shipment. Keep in mind you will have to use the Google Maps API key and also enable the API from Google.
- Source Priority Algorithm:- Source Priority Algorithm decides the source to fulfill a shipment based on the priority set in the stock. When you have created a custom stock and assigned multiple sources to it then the source listed on top has the highest priority and it reduces going downwards in the list.
Some Examples of Magento 2 MSI
Example 1:- There’s a store having four different websites that simultaneously serve in four different locations US, UK, Canada, and Italy. Suppose they are selling a product “Bag”. This product is currently in inventory at four locations: a warehouse in the US, a distribution center in the UK, and a drop shipper. The order placed for this product on any of the websites needs to be shipped from one of these locations. So now using Magento 2 MSI we will create sources, stocks, sales channels and map them to create an efficient system.
In the above image, you can see that we have created two stocks namely US stock UK stock. Both of these stocks have a salable quantity i.e the maximum quantity that is available in that stock. You can also configure a certain quantity of products so that when the stock reaches that level you are notified and can timely restock the product. We will use US stock to fulfill orders for Canada and US websites whereas we will use UK stock to fulfill orders for Italy and UK websites. I.e Canada and US websites are linked to US stock and Italy and UK websites are linked to UK stock. Furthermore, we have created three sources in our Magento 2 and assign them to the relevant stocks as shown in the above image. Now when an order comes on any of the websites, Magento 2 MSI will automatically select the best source for the shipment of that order using the Source Selection Algorithm.
