Reserved stock value is subtracted from the total stock value

eeuwe

I have some stock that i have in a other wharehouse so i want to subtracted it from the main stock. I created a inventory log > reserved stock log. And i used the Reduce Stock button. to subtraced it from the main stock. However i notice that now also the value of the reserved stock is subtracted from the total value. Something that should not happen (or at least not in my case). Is there a workaround for this?

Hi eeuwe

If you just use the Inventory Logs with the Pending and Completed status it will work as you wish, however, if you use the increase and decrease button these action will affect to your current stock.

Uh okay that does not awnsers my question. Let me ask it differently. What do i have to do to have this reserved stock not added to the main stock but is calculated for the total stock value?
So if i have 100 units in total that are worth 1 a piece, and i want to reserve 25 pieces the main stock should be 75, the reserved stock 25 and the total value still 100.

Hi eeuwe

Please, follow this process and let me know if it works for you.

Put the product in the Inventory Log, and set 25 items:

Click on the product field to display the pink section with the increase and reduce stock buttons, and click on the reduce button:

Now the product will have 75 items.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Andrea.

Changing the stock aint the problem. Like i mention before the problem is that the reserved stock value is reduced from the total stock value. So again my example

So if i have 100 units in total that are worth 1 a piece, and i want to reserve 25 pieces the main stock should be 75, the reserved stock 25 and the total value still 100.

However the total stock value will not be 100 but 75 and that's not correct since reserved stock still has value. See image in this post. The first example is without reserved stock and the second is with reserved stock.. The value should still be 100 but changed tot 75.

Hi eeuwe

The "reserved stock" type in Inventory Logs is merely informative (for your own records) but it doesn't "reserve" it in any way. So, if you use the "Reduce Stock" button, it'll reduce that amount from the available stock as it happened.
But, later, If you want to re-add the same stock again, you just have to use the "Increase Stock" button.

Alternatively, if you want to have the stocks separated ("main stock" and "reserved stock"), you can create multiple inventories for any product with our Multi-Inventory add-on. And creating one for the main stock and another for the reserved stock.
