Awaiting Inventory can also be explained with a case like when we've ordered products from the supplier by delivery but the products are still in transit, the products that we've ordered have not arrived in our warehouse/store yet.
Currently, there are three columns from the Awaiting Inventory status on the Inventory menu from DealPOS, they are On Hand, Awaiting, and Future.
Future = On Hand + Awaiting
Type | Description |
On hand | Is the quantity expected in your warehouse |
Awaiting | Is a quantity that represents the quantity from the products which are still in transit after we ordered the products from the supplier |
Future | Is a quantity that represents the quantity from the products that will be expected after all the awaiting product has arrived. It counted based on calculation from On Hand quantity and Awaiting quantity. |
As you can see in the table above if you are buying products with Fulfillment or in transit, the awaiting inventory from that product will be increased. The image below shows you the reports from awaiting inventory, it will make you feel easier to find out the stocks that will be ready in the future.
