LocalInventory

The LocalInventory component, which usually appears in the Inventory Stage of an order processing pipeline, sets the value of _inventory_backorder on the order form to the number of items backordered. The LocalInventory component takes the sum of the items for each SKU in the order, and then compares this number with the value of _product_local_inventory. If the value of _product_local_inventory is less than the number of items ordered, the component sets the value of _inventory_backorder to the difference.

• Disallow Backorder. If selected, specifies that backorders are not permitted. In this case, the component adds the _pur_out_of_stock message to the _Purchase_Errors SimpleList on the order form.
