Key Columns and What They Mean for Business

Common business-relevant columns include:

• Item Code / Item Name
  Identifies the product or material being tracked.

• Warehouse
  Shows where the stock is physically or logically stored. Helps in planning transfers and fulfillment.

• Actual Quantity
  The current available stock. This is the most critical number for sales and operations.

• Reserved Quantity
  Stock already committed to orders or internal use. Indicates how much stock is not freely available.

• Available Quantity
  Stock that can still be used for new orders after reservations.

• Reorder Level (if applicable)

Each column supports better control over inventory and demand planning.
