In M2 what does "deferred stock update" do and how is it related to Backorders?

From here it is not exactly clear what it does, especially what it has to do with Backorders (which is quite fast when compared to MSI). https://support.magento.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048996811-Magento-best-practices-for-deferred-stock-update-

when using MSI, there is no any reason to use "deferred stock updates". In fact deferred stock is a functionality which postponed real stock deduction for products with enabled backorders, while in case of MSI this deduction is postponed by default for all kind of products, as reservation mechanism is being used instead. Thus, MSI fully substitutes "deferred stock updates" and is recommended way since Magento 2.3

  • Thanks. How does it work more precisely? In conjunction /w MSI and reservations. When sales are generated a reservation is made (no stock is deducted yet) ... then at shipment the stock is deducted form the selected sources affecting salable qty .... I dont see: how could you defer this update without affecting salable qty to be incorrect? or affecting he reservations?

  • You can use the tool magerun2 with the command sys:cron:history to check it, and check your var/log/cron.log as well.
