23 Glossary

Field Description
Available

The available quantity of the item after subtracting the quantity on any open orders, plus the quantity on the displayed order line.

Since the quantity of the displayed order line is added to the calculated available quantity, the available quantity displayed for two order lines for the same item will differ if the order lines are for different quantities. For example, if the available quantity is 50, and the quantity on the order line is 5, the available quantity displayed is 55; however, if the quantity on the order line is 2, the available quantity displayed is 52.
