    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for AI-based inbound plan generation. Systems and methods include predicting, using a model, available storage associated with a first fulfillment center; predicting a demand capacity associated with the first fulfillment center; using the predicted available storage and the predicted demand capacity, calculating an excess demand quantity; determining one or more fungible capacity types associated with the excess demand quantity; determining available fungible capacity type quantities in at least one fulfillment center; using the one or more fungible capacity types associated with the excess demand quantity and the available fungible capacity type quantities in at least one fulfillment center, generate an inbound plan for the first fulfillment center; receive a notification of one or more incoming products; and distribute the one or more incoming products according to the generated inbound plan.
