# Upcoming stock

## Upcoming stock

Upcoming stock is the Inventory destination for reviewing products as they move from receipt
through inspection and toward storage.

| If you need to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| Choose the warehouse queue | [Find the Upcoming stock list](#find-the-upcoming-stock-list) |
| Read the columns and toolbar | [Read the Upcoming stock list](#read-the-upcoming-stock-list) |
| Review both queue routes | [Choose the queue to review](#choose-the-queue-to-review) |
| Handle a stocking action | [Handle the conditional Stock product action](#handle-the-conditional-stock-product-action) |
| Continue from receipt work | [Goods receipt notes](doc:goods-receipt-notes) |
| Continue from inspection work | [Incoming inspection notes](doc:incoming-inspection-notes) |
| Review Quality Control work | [QC](doc:qc) |
| Review another stock view | [Stock by shipment](doc:stock-by-shipment) |

The page provides two queues: **Awaiting Inspection** and **Awaiting Storage**. **Awaiting
Inspection** is the received-but-not-inspected list. **Awaiting Storage** is the
Quality-Control-released list.

## Before you start

Your access, saved list layout, and available rows determine what appears on Upcoming stock
and which controls are available for each row.

Prerequisites

- Have access to the Inventory area.
- Open **Inventory** > **Upcoming stock**.
- Use a row whose product is eligible for stocking when you need the **Stock product** action.
- Have the storage area and position ready before you save stocking details.

The list requires a saved layout selection before its grid appears. If the subscription does
not include this surface, the page follows its subscription branch instead of showing the list.
The stocking action also requires a row that meets the product's stocking condition.

## Find the Upcoming stock list

Reach the Inventory destination, then choose the queue that contains the products you need to review.

Prerequisites

- Have access to the Inventory area.

Steps

1. Open the Inventory area.
2. Select **Upcoming stock**.
3. Select the queue that matches the work you need to review.

   | If you need to… | Select |
   |---|---|
   | Review products awaiting inspection | **Awaiting Inspection** |
   | Review products awaiting storage | **Awaiting Storage** |

**Result:** The selected Upcoming stock queue is open.

## Read the Upcoming stock list

The Upcoming stock list shows warehouse rows with receipt, quantity, unit, stage, and
inspection references. The visible list uses these headers:

| Header | What to use it for |
|---|---|
| **Sales job no.** | Identify the related sales job. |
| **Product** | Identify the product. |
| **Description** | Read the product description. |
| **Area** | Read the displayed area. |
| **Position** | Read the displayed position. |
| **P.O.s** | Read the purchase-order reference. |
| **Received Qty** | Read the received quantity. |
| **Accepted qty** | Read the accepted quantity. |
| **Rejected qty** | Read the rejected quantity. |
| **Unit** | Read the quantity unit. |
| **Stage** | Read the current displayed stage. |
| **GRN** | Read the goods-receipt reference. |
| **Inspection No.** | Read the inspection reference. |

The list also presents the toolbar controls **Refresh**, **Table Layout**, and **Settings**.
When your saved layout includes **Table Layout** choices, use the headers and rows currently
visible in your list because the saved layout changes which columns are shown.

## Choose the queue to review

Compare the inspection and storage queues by selecting each queue and reviewing its list.

Prerequisites

- Have the Upcoming stock list open.

Steps

1. Select the queue that matches the work you need to review.

   | If you need to… | Select | Destination |
   |---|---|---|
   | Review products awaiting inspection | **Awaiting Inspection** | Upcoming stock list |
   | Review products awaiting storage | **Awaiting Storage** | Awaiting Storage list |

2. Review the list headers and rows.

**Result:** The queue matching the warehouse stage is open, with its list headers and rows
available for review.

## Handle the conditional Stock product action

Select **Stock product** to assign an eligible product to storage. The control appears only for
eligible rows.

The row must have a receiving shipment, an inspection, and a release to Inventory, and it must
have no rejected quantity before **Stock product** is rendered.

Prerequisites

- Have an eligible row in the Upcoming stock list.
- Have the storage area and position to enter.

The stocking details use **Areas**, **Position**, **Stocked By**, and **Stocked On**.
The storage destination is selected through **Areas** and **Position**. **Stock Type** uses these
choices: `Available for sale`, `Received for PM`,
`Rejected`, `Maintenance`, and `Reserved for PM`. The available **Areas**, **Stocked By**,
and **In Stock** entries depend on the current list data.

Selecting **Stock product** opens the **Product assignment certificate** popup. The popup
requires **Position**. The popup uses **OK** to submit the stocking entry.
When the entry saves, Upcoming stock refreshes and the popup closes.

Steps

1. In an eligible row, select **Stock product**.
2. Enter or select the storage area in **Areas**.
3. Enter the storage position in **Position**.

   Before submission, choose one outcome:

   | If you want to… | Select | Outcome |
   |---|---|---|
   | Save the stocking entry | **OK** | Upcoming stock refreshes and the popup closes. |
   | Cancel without saving | **Don't Save** | The popup closes without saving. |

4. Select the control that matches your chosen outcome.

**Result:** Selecting **OK** saves the stocking entry, refreshes Upcoming stock, and closes the
popup. Selecting **Don't Save** closes the popup without saving.

## When the list or action does not work

Use the message text below to correct the stocking entry or identify the owning warehouse
flow.

| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| `Your request was completed successfully` | The request completed successfully. | Continue with the updated warehouse work. |
| `An error occurred while processing your request` | The request could not be processed. | Check the values in the stocking form and try the action again. |
| `Please enter the storage area and position for each product` | A product lacks a storage area or position. | Complete **Areas** and **Position** for each product. |
| `Position is required` | A required position is empty. | Enter a value in **Position**. |
| `Package products cannot be empty` | The product package has no products. | Return to the product details and add the required product before saving. |
| `Forbidden characters detected. Please remove them and try again.` | The entered value contains a forbidden character. | Remove the forbidden character and retry the action. |

If PAMS displays `Please enter the storage area and position for each product`, enter a
**Position** before selecting **OK** again.

If **Stock product** is not available on a row, review another row in the queue. The action
depends on the product's eligibility.

Messages for receiving-shipment, inspection, shared-file, and amendment-order work belong to
their owning flows: [Goods receipt notes](doc:goods-receipt-notes), [Incoming inspection
notes](doc:incoming-inspection-notes), and [Libraries](doc:libraries-files).

**Result:** You have either corrected the displayed stocking message or identified the
warehouse flow that owns the message.

## What comes next

After reviewing **Awaiting Inspection**, continue with [Incoming inspection notes](doc:incoming-inspection-notes).
After reviewing **Awaiting Storage**, continue with [QC](doc:qc) when the next task concerns
quality-control release. For receipt work, use [Goods receipt notes](doc:goods-receipt-notes).
For another stock view, use [Stock by shipment](doc:stock-by-shipment).

The detail surface can also lead to **Comments**, **Receiving sheet**, **Inspection sheet**,
**Transfer history**, and **Last Modifications** when warehouse details have an ID.
