Why inventory may look unavailable

Review quantities, timing, and overlapping bookings when availability seems wrong.

Where this lives

Inventory can look unavailable even when stock exists because the item is reserved, buffered, hidden by timing rules, or filtered out by category logic.

Most useful checks

• Review overlapping bookings and the full occupied window, not just the visible event start.
• Check quantity requested against quantity truly free after allocations.
• Confirm you are looking at the active product and not an archived or replaced item.

Avoid the wrong fix

• Do not inflate stock counts unless you know the data is wrong.
• Do not bypass availability rules without understanding the operational cost.
• Use the inventory troubleshooting workflow to find the real blocker first.
