# Inventory

> See what you have at each location, what is promised, held and on its way, and correct a count in place.

The Inventory page answers the question every merchant asks first: what do I have, where, and how much of it can I still sell? It lists one row per variant per stock location, with five figures on each row.

| Column        | What it means                                                                                                    |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **On hand**   | Units physically on the shelf at that location                                                                   |
| **Allocated** | Units promised to orders that have been placed but not yet shipped                                               |
| **Reserved**  | Units held by customers who are in checkout right now                                                            |
| **Available** | On hand minus allocated minus reserved: what a new customer can still buy                                        |
| **Incoming**  | Units on their way to this location, on a purchase order placed with a supplier or a transfer already in transit |

<Note>Placing an order does not lower **On hand**. The units stay on the shelf, counted under **Allocated**, until the parcel actually ships. A warehouse worker counting boxes should always find the number Spree shows.</Note>

## Finding a product

Open **Inventory** in the sidebar. The list opens on every location; use the **Location** filter to narrow it to one warehouse, and the search box to find a product by name or SKU. Click a row to open the product.

A product that has never been stocked at a warehouse still appears there once a purchase order or transfer is on its way to it, so **Incoming** is visible before the first delivery lands.

## Correcting a count

Click the **On hand** figure on any row to correct it in place:

1. Choose **Set to** to enter the count you found on the shelf, or **Adjust by** to add or remove a number of units.
2. Enter the amount.
3. Pick a reason — correction, count, received, return restock, damaged, theft or loss, promotion or donation.
4. Confirm.

The change is recorded in the product's stock history with the reason you picked, beside every other movement on that shelf.

<Warning>A correction is for what you have counted. Stock that arrives from a supplier belongs on a purchase order, and stock moving between your own warehouses belongs on a [stock transfer](/docs/user/inventory/stock-transfers), so that the delivery is recorded and the **Incoming** figure stays right.</Warning>

## Adding incoming stock

Click the **Incoming** figure on a row for shortcuts to create a transfer or a purchase order. The figure itself does not move while a document is still a draft: a purchase order counts once you mark it ordered, a transfer once it is in transit. It comes back down as the goods are received, or when the document is closed, cancelled, or put back to draft.

## Enabling backorders

Backorders are set per variant and location on the product's inventory panel. A backorderable variant can be sold past zero; only enable it for stock you plan to replenish.
