# Inventory module

The `Inventory` module is part of the new inventory infrastructure. It replaces the legacy `CatalogInventory` module,
providing new and expanded features and APIs for Inventory Management.

The [Inventory Management overview](https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/webapi/rest/inventory/index.html)
describes the Multi-Source Inventory (MSI) project in more detail.

All Inventory Management modules follow the [Single Responsibility Principle](https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2014/05/08/SingleReponsibilityPrinciple.html),
and the [Inventory management architecture](https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/php/architecture/modules/inventory-management/)
provides additional insight about the overall structure of these modules.

## Installation details

This module is installed as part of Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source. Unless a custom implementation for `InventoryApi` is provided
by a 3rd-party module, the module cannot be deleted or disabled.

## Extension points and service contracts

Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source do not recommend using or referring to classes and other entities in the `Inventory` module. All public
interfaces and extension points related to this module are located in the `InventoryApi` module.
Use the interfaces and extension points defined in `InventoryApi` to extend this module.
