<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

Go to <b>Inventory → Inventory Reports → Stock Availability</b>.

<p><b>What it shows.</b> One row per item and center showing the quantity <b>In Hand</b>, the quantity <b>Reserved</b> against open orders, and the <b>Available</b> quantity that is still free to commit. Only items that currently have open stock reservations appear in the report. Click a row to open the item's transaction history.</p>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<p><b>Why are some items not shown?</b><br>Only items that currently have open stock reservations are included. Items with no reservations are left out — use the <a href="#/inventory/reports/stock-report">Stock Report</a> for a full stock position.</p>

<p><b>What is the difference between In Hand and Available?</b><br><b>In Hand</b> is the physical stock. <b>Available</b> is what remains free after subtracting the <b>Reserved</b> quantity.</p>

<p><b>What does Reserved count?</b><br>Quantity committed against open orders that has not yet been delivered or consumed.</p>

<p><b>How do I see the transactions behind a quantity?</b><br>Click the row to open the item's <a href="#/inventory/reports/item-transactions">Item Transactions</a>.</p>

<p><b>Why is my report empty?</b><br>No items currently have open <a href="#/inventory/stock-reservation">Stock Reservations</a> at the filtered center.</p>

<p><b>Can available be less than in hand?</b><br>Yes. <b>Available</b> equals in-hand minus reserved quantity committed to orders.</p>

<p><b>Does this replace the Stock Report?</b><br>No. Use Stock Report for full on-hand position; this report highlights reservation impact only.</p>
