Beg. Bal (Beginning Balance)
Stock quantity on hand at the start of the tracking period.
Using

End Bal. (Ending Balance)
Current quantity on hand. Updates automatically whenever a Stock Movement is recorded — this is the same number shown as a product's "Stock".
Re-Order Level (Product Catalog)
Stock threshold that flags when this item needs to be restocked. Set per product in the Product Catalog.
Reorder Level (Reorder Recommendations report)
A separate threshold used only by the Reorder Recommendations report to suggest a restock quantity — not the same value as the Product Catalog's Re-Order Level.
In Stock
Ending Balance is at or above Beginning Balance.
Low Stock
Ending Balance is below Beginning Balance, but not zero.
Out of Stock
Ending Balance is exactly zero.
Stock In
Movement that adds quantity to stock, e.g. a new delivery received.

Movement that removes quantity from stock and increases "Using", e.g. items issued to a requestor.
Return
Movement that adds quantity back to stock and reduces "Using", e.g. unused items returned.
Adjustment
Movement that sets stock to an exact quantity, e.g. correcting a count after a physical audit.

The person receiving or requesting items on a Stock Movement.
EE Code
