Committed quantity
Committed (CMT) is the number of units currently tied to open orders. Open orders include those with a status of Awaiting Fulfillment or Dropshipment Requested.
For kits:
- Kit SKU: The committed quantity shows how many full kits are on open orders.
- Component SKUs: The committed quantity includes the number of components used by open orders for both kits and individual products.
Example:
- A wheel has 100 units on hand.
- Order A: 1 bike kit (requires 2 wheels)
- Order B: 3 individual wheels
- Committed quantity for the wheel = 5

Available On Hand quantity
Available On Hand (AOH) is the number of units ready to sell. It’s calculated as:
Available On Hand = Physical On Hand – Committed
This is the quantity Ordoro sends to your connected sales channels.
For kits:
- The available quantity factors in both open orders for the product and for kits that use it.
Example:
- A wheel has 100 units on hand.
- Order 1: 1 bike kit (2 wheels)
- Order 2: 3 wheels
- Available On Hand for the wheel = 95
