Inventory that was previously tracked under the `reserved` quantity state for draft orders, transfers, and shipments is being moved to the `committed` quantity state. This change aligns these holds with how order inventory is already represented, so that `committed` reflects all inventory that is spoken for but not yet fulfilled. ## What's changing * For draft orders, transfers, and shipments, quantities that previously appeared under `reserved` will now appear under `committed`. * This is a one-time data migration that applies only to active draft orders and open transfers/shipments that are still holding inventory when the change runs. * Completed, cancelled, or already-released holds are not modified, because they no longer hold reserved inventory. ## What's not changing * `available` and `on_hand` quantities are unaffected. Total inventory is unchanged, and quantities are only moving between two “unavailable” buckets. * Both `reserved` and `committed` remain valid, queryable quantity names. No fields are removed or renamed. * Sellable inventory (`available`) is not affected, so this does not change what buyers can purchase. ## What you may need to do * If your app reads `InventoryLevel.quantities(names: ["reserved"])`, expect `reserved` values to decrease for affected shops, with a corresponding increase in `committed`. * If you currently rely on `reserved` to detect draft-order or transfer/shipment holds specifically, you should read `committed` instead going forward. * No code changes are required to keep existing queries working; only the values shift between the two states. ### Reporting note Merchants using inventory adjustment reports (for example, reports that break out adjustments by inventory state) will see `reserved` values migrate to `committed`, plus a one-time correction entry when the migration runs. This correction only covers active draft orders and open transfers/shipments at the time of migration. `on_hand` and `available` totals are unchanged, and historical data before the migration remains as-is. ## Related docs * InventoryLevel — the `quantities(names: [...])` field: * InventoryQuantity — the object returned per name:
