How the Quantity Available is calculated in Order Entry (OE)

stone

Issue
In the O/E Order Entry screen, at the summary of item quantities at the bottom, it may seem that Quantity Available does not reflect the Quantity on Sales Order and Quantity on Purchase Order.

Solution or Workaround
Prior to version 5.2, the Quantity Available = Quantity on hand - Quantity on Sales Order + Quantity on Purchase Order
A change in version 5.2 and subsequent versions has Quantity Available = Quantity On Hand - Quantity Committed
The original columns for Quantity on Sales Order and Quantity on Purchase Order are still present, but they are no longer taken into account in the calculations for Quantity Available.
