Disable Stock Reservation on Order

Overview

The Disable Stock Reservation functionality allows users to manually release reserved inventory from an order. When stock reservation is disabled, the reserved quantities are released and returned to available inventory, making them eligible for allocation to other orders.

This action is useful when an order should no longer block stock but is not canceled.
