When stores participate in marketing activities, you can set the stock reserved for activity in order to ensure that there are sufficient inventory for the shipping of products participating in marketing activities.

Rules:

1. For products with setting the stock reserved for activity, the stock reserved for activity will be used first; If the stock reserved for activity is insufficient, the Available Stock shall be used; If the available stock is insufficient, it will prompt Out of Stock.

2. For products without setting the stock reserved for activity, the Stock Reserved for Activity will be not supported. Only the Available Stock can be used; If the available stock is insufficient, it will prompt Out of Stock.
