04 / Inventory

Inventory, reservations and movements.

Connect receipts, stock availability and material movements to the work that needs them. See what’s physically recorded, what’s committed and what remains available. Keep purchasing plans separate from stock already received and recorded.

On hand is recorded physical stock; available is the portion not already reserved for production.

Illustrative inventory view · Example data

In this illustrative workspace, on-hand is the recorded physical stock. Reserved stock is committed to a production requirement; available stock is what remains unreserved. A receipt adds stock, while a material issue records stock leaving for production. Purchasing coverage is not a physical receipt.

01 / Position

Stock with context

See recorded quantities and units. Catalogue items and incoming purchase orders are not stock receipts.

02 / Commitment

Clear allocations

Reserve materials against a production Bill of Materials (BOM) line. Keep committed stock distinct from material already issued.
