Inventory
Inventory is the stock in your warehouse: which item, how many, in which bin, on which pallet (LPN), which lot, which expiry, and in which status. These screens let you see the stock, move it, count it, correct it and hold it. Every change goes through the stock engine and is written to the stock ledger, so you can always see who changed what, when and why.
How a stock balance is described
Every stock balance is one row: item + bin + LPN + lot / serial + expiry + status. For each balance PrismaWMS keeps:
| Figure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| On hand | physically in the bin |
| Allocated | reserved for orders |
| Frozen | locked on the balance and not usable |
| Available | on hand − allocated − frozen, for stock in status Available |
| On hold | stock in any other status — QA Hold, Blocked, Damaged, Quarantine, Expired |
