Inventory terminology
- Reserved = items in open orders
- On Shelf = Physical count across all locations
This gets decremented as orders are batched, since we don’t have a picked status for paper picking. - Available = On Shelf – Reserved
This gets decremented as orders come in. - Inbound = Returns + Ship Notices
This does not require ship notices and returns to be published. - Projected & Published = Available + Published Ship Notices & Returns
If this is positive, it means there are enough floating around in incoming returns plus ship notices that you can ship all outstanding orders with the stock remaining.
Example:
- Item ABC has 5 units
- 4 Orders come in for 1 unit of ABC each
- Available = 1 and syncs to Shop
- On Shelf = 5
Takeaway: Projected, Inbound, and Available are the best way to track up-to-the-moment numbers.
