What happens when inventory reaches zero in an EDI 846?

When an item reaches zero available quantity in your EDI 846, Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC's systems typically remove it from available-to-sell inventory. For dropship, this means the product page may show 'out of stock.' For replenishment, it signals that Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC should hold off on ordering until stock is replenished. It is important to send a zero-quantity 846 rather than simply omitting the item — omission may be interpreted differently by Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC's system. Stacksync handles zero-quantity items explicitly and can optionally suppress items below a safety stock threshold to prevent overselling.
