Committed quantity

The Committed quantity is the amount currently assigned to open orders. Orders in the open status include Awaiting Fulfillment and Dropshipment Requested.

How to calculate the Committed quantity for kits:

  • For the kit, the Committed quantity will show the amount currently on open orders.  
  • In the case of kit components, the Committed quantity represents the combined amount from open orders and the quantity associated with other kits. This quantity accounts for the required components necessary to assemble those kits.
  • For example, let’s use a bike kit made up of two wheels.
    • Wheels have a Physical On Hand quantity of 100.
    • There are two open orders.
      • Order 1: One bike (needs two wheels)
      • Order 2: Three wheels
    • Therefore, the wheels have a Committed quantity of five.

Available quantity

The Available quantity is calculated by subtracting the Committed quantity from the Physical On Hand. It represents the remaining number of products available for sale. This value is crucial as it is the quantity Ordoro updates on your sales channels.

How to calculate the Available quantity for kits:

  • The Available quantity represents the amount remaining after fulfilling open orders for both the individual component and any kits associated with it.
  • For example, let’s use a bike kit comprised of two wheels.
    • Wheels have a Physical On Hand quantity of 100.
    • There are two open orders.
      • Order 1: One bike (needs two wheels)
      • Order 2: Three wheels
    • Therefore, the wheels have an Available quantity of 95.
