Where this lives

Availability controls are meant to stop overbooking before the team commits to a schedule it cannot actually support.

Inventory quantity, setup time, pickup time, and overlapping bookings all affect whether a product can be promised.
Delivery and staffing limits can make a date operationally unavailable even when an item technically exists.
Buffer rules matter because the item may be busy outside the visible event window.

Treat availability warnings as signals to investigate, not as inconveniences to click past.
If the app blocks a booking, verify quantity, timing, and category rules before creating exceptions.
Review availability after big catalog or schedule changes so the rules stay realistic.
