Expected / Inbound / 'On Order' Stock

[willkidger]

We now have a view on 'stock on hand' as well as 'committed' stock in both the Item Library and on the 'Stock Overview' page under Inventory. However, there's no way to see 'expected stock' for an item ... i.e. the number of that item sitting on open Purchase Orders. This would be quite valuable, as currently if I am looking through some inventory on my item library to see what's low, there is no way (as far as I can tell?) to tell if, for example, my colleague already raised a PO for X product yesterday, without having to manually check through purchase orders.

I'd anticipate it working as another column in the item library something like 'On Order' with a figure representing the quantity of that SKU currently on outstanding POs.

Yes! We need this so badly! There is a column on our Square issued POS station (non i-pad hardware) under inventory > stock overview - there is a column on the right titled "on order". This should be added to the desktop version of Square!

YES! Came here to say this!

I support adding an On Order quantity to the desktop Item Library. At Freethinker’s General Store, I add new merchandise to the catalog before it arrives. A new item with zero on hand is shown as Sold Out, just like an older item that has sold through.

An On Order quantity would be especially useful if it could also be filtered at the variation/SKU level. When reviewing stock below 1, I need to exclude items with outstanding purchase-order quantities so I can review older sold-out merchandise for possible archiving without including items I am still waiting to receive.

Could Square show the remaining unreceived quantity from open purchase orders and let us filter for zero on hand WITH an open order versus zero on hand WITHOUT an open order? That would make this useful for catalog cleanup as well as reordering.
