Stock Reservation Entry

A Stock Reservation Entry sets aside a quantity of an item in a warehouse for one Sales Order, so that another salesperson cannot deliver it or a POS sale cannot take it. The reserved quantity appears in the Bin and lowers the projected quantity shown to others, while the actual quantity and Stock In Hand are untouched because nothing has physically moved. When the Delivery Note against that order is submitted, the reservation is consumed; cancelling the order releases it. It is useful for confirmed orders waiting for payment or transport. No ledger entry is made. Enable it under Stock Settings before the Reserve button appears.

Available to reserve = actual qty - already reserved qty; reservation is reduced as the order is delivered
