[2.3] Finally clicked on Save Button

Except default product stock, all other stocks can be modified as Stock Name , Stock sales channel and the assigned sources.
Once the sources are created and stocks are linked to the respective website, Next Step, MSI Saleable Quantity
MSI Saleable Quantity :
This presents in Product Grid Page as ‘Quantity per Source’ and ‘Salable Quantity’.
Go To Catalog -> Products
The following terms are important as you work with Inventory Management APIs:
[a] – Sources:: represent physical locations that store and ship available products. These locations can include warehouses, brick-and-mortar stores, distribution centers, and drop shippers. (Any location can be designated as a source for virtual products.)
[b] – Stocks:: map a sales channel (currently limited to websites) to source locations and on-hand inventory. A stock can map to multiple sales channels, but a sales channel can be assigned to only one stock.
[c] – Aggregate Salable Quantity:: is the total virtual inventory that can be sold through a sales channel. The amount is calculated across all sources assigned to a stock.
[d] – Reservations:: track deductions from the salable quantity as customers add products to carts and complete checkout. When an order ships, the reservation clears and deducts the shipped amounts from specific source inventory quantities.
Briefly Explained With Example
In this below diagram, a bicycle merchant has inventory for a mountain bike in two warehouses and a drop shipper. He has two stocks with configured website sales channels and sources. When a customer shops through the UK website, Magento aggregates bike inventory from the UK warehouse and the drop shipper sources, for a salable quantity of 95. The bike can be shipped from either the warehouse or the drop shipper, but not the NY warehouse. Amazon Marketplace has the same stock, drawing from the same aggregate stock as the UK website.
[a] – Source – Defines a physical stock.
[b] – SourceItem – A relation object that represents the amount of a specific product at a physical source. We use this entity for updating inventory on each source. Quantities might change as a result of synchronizing with an external Product Information Management (PIM) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, or internally as a stock deduction during the checkout process. A SourceItem cannot be used for retrieving data that must be rendered on front-end, because only aggregated data should be used for all validations and UI representation.
[c] – StockItem – Also known as Aggregated Virtual Stock. This is read-only data that the re-indexation process generates. Based on a pre-defined mapping, we define what sources are assigned to the current scope (sales channel) and aggregate quantities from all assigned sources. We also use StockItem to check if a product is in or out of stock. Making this segregation by Read-Only interface (StockItem) and Write-Only interface (SourceItem), the Inventory architecture achieves Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS). As a result, all GET HTTP requests should use StockItem entity, and all POST/PUT should use SourceItem.
