If you need to quickly view a product's availability for possible current or future orders, Booqable has created a super simple method of doing so.
Follow the guide below to learn how to view a product's availability off the Booqable individual order's screen.
How it works
1. Viewing product availability
A product's availability always depends on the order period, meaning you can't see availability details when creating an order until the period is specified.
As soon as you select a rental period, Booqable will show you how many items you can add to the order:
To view more details about the availability of the products on the orders, click the Availability label next to the product that is labeled 'x left/short.'
This will show you how many products are:
Available
Expected
On this order
Other orders
Within shortage limit (the number of product that are within your shortage limit set in the product settings)
Over shortage limit (the number of product that are over your shortage limit set in the product settings)
Downtime
The bar above will show the numbers in the breakdown of the product's availability in a visual format, but note that the bar does not add up the total physical stock. This is only available for trackable and bulk products.
From this popover, you can:
Add stock: If there is a shortage, you can add stock directly from the order.
View inventory: View the product in the inventory.
Show on calendar: Filter the calendar by the product and the rental period of the order (see screenshot below)
From the calendar view, you will also be able to see if a product has downtime scheduled.
You can also view availability on the Calendar view by hovering over the product and clicking "Show on calendar."
2. Changing product quantity
If you added a bulk product or didn't specify stock items for a trackable product, you can simply adjust the quantity using the input field.
If you added specific stock items, however, the only way to lower the quantity is by removing those stock items from the order:
