MSI

Multi-Source Inventory. Magento's system for managing stock across multiple physical and virtual warehouses.

In depth

MSI lets a Magento merchant have one product available from multiple stock sources (warehouse A, retail store B, third-party fulfillment C). Salable quantity is resolved per source selection. Emporiqa's Magento module is MSI-aware: when a shopper asks about availability, the assistant reports the resolved salable quantity, not the raw per-source stock.
