## Inventory data table

The Inventory data table is an overview of the current state of inventory related data for each part / warehouse combination and access to common data table menu options.

Rows in this table show each unique Part and warehouse combination individually.

### Point in time snapshot

The values shown in this data table are a snapshot, that is, they represent the current values that were valid at the point in time that this table was last fetched / refreshed from the AyaNova server.

### Inventory data table columns

#### Part name

The part name as entered in the Name field of the Part form.

#### Part warehouse name

The part warehouse name as entered in the Name field of the Part warehouse form.

#### On hand

The quantity on hand / in stock for this Part / Warehouse combination. This value is quantity available for use at the moment this data table was last refreshed.

#### Minimum quantity

This value is the re-order level for this part / warehouse combination that was entered in the Part stocking level form for this Part.

It indicates the point at which parts should be ordered when the on-hand inventory level for this part / warehouse combination goes below this minimum quantity value.

Minimum quantity is used by the Purchase order restock list feature to populate a new purchase order with the required quantity to bring the inventory level back to the minimum quantity specified.

A value of zero means there is no minimum quantity selected for this part / warehouse combination.

#### Re-order quantity

This value shows the quantity of this part / warehouse combination that would need to be ordered to bring this part / warehouse on hand quantity back to the minimum quantity value set.

#### On order

#### Active

Unlike most other tables showing objects in AyaNova, this data table doesn't have a natural Id value since it pulls in data from many locations so this field provides a unique id value in order to be able to select individual records for reporting and other bulk operations.

Clicking on this field will show the history of the transaction represented by this Id.

Adjustments made can be viewed in the Inventory transactions form as well as updated in the values showing in this inventory table on refresh.
