AutoCount Stock Quantity Definition
Available Quantity (Available Qty):
The number of units of a particular item that are currently available for sale or use. It is the quantity that can be allocated for new sales orders or used to fulfill existing orders. In other words, it’s the quantity you have on hand minus any reserved quantities. If you have 100 units of a product in stock and 20 units are reserved for pending orders, the available quantity is 80 units.
Quantity on Hand (Qty on Hand):
The total quantity of a specific item that you physically have in your inventory at a given moment. This includes items that are not yet allocated to specific orders or purposes. It represents the actual stock you have in your warehouse or storage.
Forecast Quantity (Forecast Qty):
The estimated or projected quantity of a particular item that you expect to sell or use within a specified future period. It’s essentially a prediction of how much of a product you anticipate needing or selling in the coming weeks or months. This forecast can be based on historical sales data, market trends, and other factors. Accurate forecasting helps businesses plan their inventory levels, procurement, and production to meet future demand effectively.
Outstanding Consignment Quantity (Outstanding Consignment Qty):
The quantity of goods that you have supplied to a consignment customer but have not yet been sold or returned. In a consignment arrangement, you provide your products to a customer (typically a retailer) to display and sell in their store, but ownership and control of the items remain with you until they are sold.
