The present invention provides a method for allocating inventory of a supplier to contracted requestors based on allocation priorities. The supplier sets up a distribution arrangement (contract) with each requestor interested in obtaining inventory. Each inventory record identifies a pool of available inventory. Under a distribution arrangement (between the requestor and the supplier), one or more availability records are associated (by the supplier) with the distribution arrangement. An availability record identifies an inventory record from which inventory will be allocated (to a requestor). A supplier allocates inventory (to a requestor) from a pool of inventory identified by an inventory record associated with an availability record (the availability record indicates that inventory is to be allocated from the pool of inventory identified with the inventory record) assigned (by the supplier) under a distribution arrangement. Each availability record indicates an allocation priority relative to other availability records. 25
