What is free stock?
From Catalyst
Summary
Free stock, also known as Available Stock, is displayed to show the quantity available to sell after any current demands on the item have been met.
More Information
You will see a Free Stock value in all of the screens in Platinum where you are adding a stock item for sale, e.g. when adding an item to a Workshop Jobcard, to a counter sale etc.
The standard calculation being applied is:
 | Current Stock Quantity - Quantity on Sales Order + Quantity on Purchase Order |
Counter Invoicing
The free stock value displayed in both Invoicing and Customer Orders and Point of Sale uses the above formula but also takes into account any items that have been left on screen in Invoicing and Customer Orders.
- To view these items go to " Stock Control Invoicing & Customer Orders".
- At "Customer" press <F4> - Account Summary.
- See What does the Account Summary Screen Show?.
Checking Free Stock
Stock Enquiries can be used to view outstanding orders.
