Inventory balances contain several types of inventory information such as physical product location within a warehouse, product category, and total available inventory. Communicating inventory levels ensures suppliers can keep the required amount of inventory stocked at their locations and enables them to perform other key activities like properly preparing to fulfill large orders. Inventory balances are usually sent at regular intervals or because the buyer requests inventory information. Suppliers use inventory balances to communicate about available and upcoming inventory levels with their remote or third-party warehouses, or buyers. ![](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Content/Resources/Images/global_images/note_tip_24x24.png) Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message. - **Message Type**: MPC\_INVENTORY\_BALANCE (Inventory Balance) - **EDIFACT Format**: EDIFACT INVRPT - **Transform Names**: - B2B\_EDI\_EDIFACT\_INVRPT\_InventoryBalance\_IB\_V1 - B2B\_EDI\_EDIFACT\_INVRPT\_InventoryBalance\_OB\_V1 [![Closed](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)Guidelines](#) Input Element Occurs Length Description Example INVRPT \[1…1\] **Required.** EDIFACT orders.
