Checking stock levels: on hand, reserved and available

Checking stock levels: on hand, reserved and available

When you want to know how much of a product you have and where it is, NexerIQ shows it on the product's Inventory tab. You rarely have to tell NexerIQ your stock levels — it works them out for you from every receipt, sale, and transfer. This article explains where to look and what the numbers mean.

See a product's stock

  1. Open Products and click the product you want.
  2. Go to its Inventory tab.
  3. Under Stock locations you'll see one row per warehouse (and bin location, if you use them) where the product is held.

What the quantity columns mean

  • On hand — the quantity physically present in that warehouse.
  • Reserved — quantity already committed to orders that haven't shipped yet.
  • Available — On hand minus Reserved; what you can actually sell or move right now.

A row marked Configured has thresholds set for it; a row marked Stock only simply holds quantity without saved thresholds.

How on-hand changes

On-hand quantity is always the running total of recorded movements, so it stays trustworthy. It goes up when you receive goods against a purchase order in Procurement, down when you make a sale, and moves between rows when you transfer stock. You don't edit the on-hand figure directly — you record the activity, and the total follows.

Reorder thresholds

For any stock row you can set guide figures so nothing catches you out:

  1. On the Inventory tab, click New (or Edit on an existing row).
  2. Set Minimum stock, Maximum stock, Reorder point, and Reorder quantity as needed.
  3. Click Save.

These figures feed NexerIQ's purchasing suggestions; they don't change your on-hand count.

Tip — to control whether stock can go below zero, open Settings → Products and use the inventory defaults, or set Allow negative stock on the individual product.
