Summary
Description
This article discusses why you may observe a zero Reserved Quantity on the Inventory Enquiries | Item Information screen after entering it on a Sales Order for the same stock item.
For example, in this scenario notice the zero Reserved Quantity value below:
after the following Reserved Quantity was entered on the processed Sales Order.
Resolution
Consider the following advice to resolve the above query:
1. First notice that as per design:
- the captured Reserved Quantities on the Sales Order
- will only display on the Inventory Enquiries | Item Information screen,
- if the Sales Order (SO) has been Placed, and not processed.
2. In the scenario below, the SO was processed as below
3. The result is that the above entered Reserved quantities is automatically relayed into Quantity on Sales Order on the Inventory Enquiries | Item Information screen, and not on the Reserved Quantities field below.
4. Also notice below that the Quantity Available is 50 = 100 (original units and seen on the Available field above) – 50 confirmed on sales order above.
5. Therefore, only if you make use of the Place Order (and not process) button,
will the Reserved Quantity be populated as can be seen below
6. Also note:
The Quantity on Sales Order is 25 = 20 units from the first Sales Order plus 5 units from the second Sales Order
