Understock refers to a situation where a company does not have enough inventory on hand to meet customer demand. This can lead to lost sales and potential loss of customers if the company is unable to quickly restock the item. Understocking can also be a result of poor inventory management, where the company did not accurately predict customer demand or plan for unexpected increases in demand.
