Available Quantity
Available quantity is the amount of an item that is free to sell or use, calculated as on-hand quantity minus any stock already committed to open sales orders. In Peasy, this number helps you avoid overselling.
How It Works in Peasy
- Available quantity is shown on the Inventory page alongside on-hand quantity
- It updates automatically when sales orders are created or fulfilled
- Available = On-Hand − Committed (stock reserved for open sales orders)
- If available drops to zero, you still have stock but it's all spoken for
- Reorder alerts can be configured to trigger based on available quantity
Why It Matters
Available quantity gives you an honest picture of what you can promise to new customers. Selling based on on-hand alone risks double-booking stock that's already committed to existing orders.
