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 ShelfReserved
    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:
  1. Item ABC has 5 units
  2. 4 Orders come in for 1 unit of ABC each
  3. Available = 1 and syncs to Shop
  4. On Shelf = 5

Takeaway: Projected, Inbound, and Available are the best way to track up-to-the-moment numbers.
