It looks like the ShipHero inventory webhook returns a response like this according to the docs

```auto
{
    "account_id": 6334,
    "inventory": [
        {
            "webhook_type": "INVENTORY_UPDATE",
            "sku": "1122334856",
            "inventory": "1588",
            "backorder_quantity": "0",
            "on_hand": "1609",
            "virtual": false,
            "retry": null,
            "timestamp": 1619196552.5594575
        }
    ]
}

```

What is the difference between “inventory” and “on\_hand” here? It’s clear “on\_hand” refers to the same “on\_hand” exposed by the GraphQL API, but it’s very unclear what “inventory” refers to.

Hi @achempak , welcome to the community!  
_Inventory_ is the on\_hand minus the number allocated. In the UI, it would be _Available_.
