Summary:

What it is: Inventory Units Allocated shows the quantity of bottles that have been committed to customer orders but haven't yet been fulfilled or picked up. These bottles are still physically sitting in your inventory but are earmarked for specific customers, reducing what's actually available for new orders.

How to use it:
• Monitor allocation levels for limited-production wines to prevent overselling and manage customer expectations during high-demand releases
• Track fulfillment efficiency by comparing allocated units to shipped units, helping identify bottlenecks in your order processing workflow

Tip: High allocation numbers relative to total inventory can signal you're close to selling out of specific wines, even if your inventory system shows bottles still available.
