A

Available To Sell | ATS

Closing Stock Units + Sales Units After Returns, which is how you would calculate Opening Stock on Hand (OSOH) manually, however, ATS and OSOH have few differences.

For example:

ATS differs from OSOH in the following ways:

  • ATS includes inventory that was DELIVERED during the period (OSOH does not)

  • ATS excludes inventory that was returned or transferred out during the period (whereas this WILL show up in OSOH)

If there are no transfers or Intake ATS will equal OSOH
