FAQ
When stock is allocated to a confirmed order it is reserved against that order, so availability checks for new orders see only what is genuinely free.
Delivery challans record gate-out when goods leave and can be marked delivered, with a dispatch summary showing the status of everything in transit.
Reorder levels per item raise alerts the moment stock crosses them, and each alert can create a purchase requisition directly — supported by aging and movement reports.
