Inventory Statuses

Over the course of its life cycle at the MasonHub facility, your inventory will fall under one of the following statuses.

​

Inbound

expected	Inventory is expected to arrive at one of MasonHub’s distribution centers. Units are counted as expected when they are on open or onDock inbound shipments / ASN’s or customer returns.
received	Inventory that has not yet been putaway for picking. Received is a transient status for units that are on their way to a pickable location. It is rare for any units to be reported as received but we do record the movement in our ledger.
backordered	Inventory has been backordered and will be fulfilled as soon as units have been received at the facility.

​

Current Sellable

available	Inventory is available and ready to pick at the distribution center. Units are considered available when they are in a pickable location in one of our distribution centers.
kit-to-ship-available	Inventory that is made available based on the child SKUs assigned during SKU creation or update. Kit To Ship available is dynamically recalculated as individual child units are received or shipped.
oversellable	Inventory that has been made available via an oversell policy. Units in an oversellable status can be placed on backorder.

​

Under Review

quality-control	Inventory that is under review by our inventory control team. Quality Control units are often received in a customer return and require extra scrutiny before being made available.
under-investigation	Inventory that has been allocated to an order but needs inventory control review before being shipped, usually because the item is damaged and we are locating a replacement.
refurbishing	Inventory that has been received but is getting refurbished as per the clients instructions (e.g. units that are being dry cleaned).
relabeled	Inventory that was incorrectly labeled as one SKU and must be assigned to the correct SKU. There will be a corresponding increment to available inventory in the correct SKU.

​

Outbound

allocated	Inventory has been allocated to an order. Allocated units have not yet been picked and placed in an order, and they are also not sellable. The allocated inventory status correlates with open orders.
shipped	Inventory that has been placed on an order and shipped. Shipped units have left one of MasonHub’s distribution centers and are no longer in our possession.

​

End of Life

consumed	Inventory that has been consumed during normal business operations (e.g. packaging tape, tissue paper, boxes).
damaged	Inventory has been moved into a damaged state. Units are considered damaged when an associate discovers a flaw either during receipt (often during the receipt of a return) or other normal warehouse operations. Damaged units are held for review by the client.
lost	Inventory has been lost at the distribution center. Units are lost when we can no longer match up our available count to what we have in the distribution center. Lost units decrement available inventory.
liquidated	Inventory has been picked up by a liquidator per the client’s instructions.
destroyed	Inventory has been destroyed per the client’s instructions.
