In SFCC, how is inventory data typically organized?

In Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), inventory data is organized through Product and Variant records that are connected to a common inventory object. This structure allows products to be represented in a flexible way, where a product can have multiple variants (like size or color), and each variant can maintain its own inventory level. The common inventory object ensures that all variants of a product can reference the same inventory, allowing for centralized management and easier updates.

This setup is essential for efficient inventory management as it accommodates various product configurations while still providing a clear view of stock levels. It also aligns with the needs of e-commerce platforms to showcase options to customers while managing backend inventory effectively. In contrast, other methods listed either lack the necessary granularity or do not employ a cohesive structure for managing both products and their variants.
