Explanations of the fields

On PO

How much stock is waiting to be delivered from outstanding purchase orders.

This figure does not impact the available stock figure but will allow you to sell stock soon to be delivered which may put you into a -ve available

In Stock

This is the actual stock in the warehouse, so it is the physical stock and it is what we use to balance the stocks with the warehouse during the snapshot processing.

Frozen

Trading Reserve

Customer paid reserves where the customer is offering their stock for trade

Non Trading Reserve

Customer paid reserves where the customer is only storing the stock.

Unpaid Reserves

This shows stock which has been reserved for customers, these reserves as UNPAID and are considered soft reservations, because in theory you could provide the stocks to others as long as you know you will restock in time to fulfill this promise.

As the customer places orders for the product they have on reserves the system will ask

On SO

All orders which are not held or allocated.

SO Held

All orders which are held and not allocated.

Allocated

Allocation of orders is the commitment of that stock for an order you plan to fulfil, this also means that orders in allocated are with the warehouse awaiting picking and also will be showing in the Deliver Orders window in the Sales menu.

Once you Deliver the order the order is complete and the stock is removed from the in stock figure.

Available

From your commitments this is the available stock you have available to you

Within the main warehouse you are over committed by 5 singles, this is because the system will allow you to take orders for stock, it does warn you of this when placing the order and you will only be able to commit (allocate) 1 single to any of the outstanding orders.

It takes into accont frozen, unpaid reserves, on SO, SO Held, allocated

EP PO

The EP (Advanced Orders) allows you to pre-buy stocks in advance of them becoming available and in stock, by using this type of order you can then sell these stocks in advance of them arriving.

The information is shown on the screen to highlight what EPPO and EPSO you have outstanding and what you technically can still sell, and as those parcels of stock arrive into the warehouse the figures move from EPPO into the main stock figures.

EP SO

Order Available

This is what you will be able to use on the order after taking into account all the other fields, its a calculated field.

Image Added

This will normally be BLUE coloured, but will display in yellow when you have an unpaid reserve for this stock as technically you can provide the order available stock but you would compromise your unpaid reserve promises.

Tip

So it is a business decision if you plan to use up your unpaid reserves ! Can you restock in time to fulfill the promises madeā€¦ā€¦
