Reservations

The Reservation List shows stock that is spoken for. One row is one reservation line: an item, a quantity, the warehouse it is held in, and the document that reserved it.

Examples​

Stock that is on hand and still not available. On Hand and Quantity answer different questions: the first is what is in the warehouse, the second is how much of it is already promised. A shortage report that disagrees with the warehouse is usually reading one where it meant the other.

A reservation against something not yet delivered. Reservation Type distinguishes them: Warehouse is stock that exists, Inflow is stock that is expected. An inflow reservation disappearing is not stock vanishing — it is a delivery that did not arrive.

Picked but not gone. Qty Picked counts what has been taken against the reservation, while Orig. Reserved Qty keeps what was reserved to begin with. Comparing the two shows a partly served reservation, which is what usually explains a document that looks half-open.
