Total inventory $ 1,193  $ 1,216 

As VOI inventory is completed it is transferred into property and equipment until such units are registered and made available for sale. Once registered and available for sale, the units are then transferred back into completed inventory. The Company had net transfers of VOI inventory to property and equipment of $19 million and $75 million during 2022 and 2021.

During 2020, as a result of resort closures and cancellations surrounding COVID-19, the Company recorded a $48 million reduction to exchange inventory consisting of costs previously incurred by RCI to provide enhanced out-of-network travel options to members. The write-off was included within Operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss). The Company utilized the remaining inventory to maximize exchange supply for its members.

Inventory Obligations
The Company has entered into inventory sale transactions with third-party developers for which the Company has conditional rights and obligations to repurchase the completed properties from the developers subject to the properties conforming to the Company’s vacation ownership resort standards and provided that the third-party developers have not sold the properties to another party. Under the sale of real estate accounting guidance, the conditional rights and obligations of the Company constitute continuing involvement and thus the Company was unable to account for these transactions as a sale.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s inventory obligations (in millions):
