# How do I set up my product inventory: Availability Limit

The Availability Limit setting lets you control the maximum number of guests or units per launch, session, or trip, as well as set a minimum quantity required for online bookings.

### Quantity

Set the maximum number of participants allowed per launch, session, or trip.

### Minimum Quantity Required

Setting a minimum quantity restricts online bookings from being placed unless the minimum number of guests is met for that launch. This is useful for businesses that cannot operate profitably below a certain group size.

Internal bookings can override this restriction. For example, if you set a minimum of 5 guests and then book 3 internally, online bookings will update to show only 2 more guests required to meet the minimum. Once the minimum is met, all future bookings for that launch will no longer require a minimum quantity.

The wording of these labels may vary depending on your [participant or unit label](https://helpdesk.resmarksystems.com/en-us/article/how-to-create-custom-labels-for-your-units-or-participants-using-the-available-by-feature-8gxcex/?bust=1711658427352).

### Editing Availability Limits on Existing Templates

|| Inventory templates run nightly. Changes to a template will not take effect until the next time that template generates inventory, and will only apply to future inventory. Existing inventory is not affected.

### Editing Already-Generated Inventory

To change availability limits on inventory that has already been generated, click **Edit** next to the specific inventory entry.

### FAQ

**Q: What happens if we have a minimum guest quantity of 5 and we override it by booking 3 guests internally?**

A: All future online bookings will reflect the change. In this case, your online booking will show "2 guests required" for that launch since 3 of the 5 minimum have already been booked.


**Q: Can I add a minimum guest quantity only for specific dates?**

A: Yes, you can set it on a day-by-day basis. You can also bulk edit existing inventory if you want to remove the minimum requirement from specific dates.
