Order availability

The order availability page shows you which pending orders can be fully fulfilled, partially fulfilled, or have no stock available—before you start checking. Use it to plan your day, spot stock shortages early, and decide which orders to prioritize.

Where to find it

From the pending orders queue, click the Availability -> button next to the status tabs.

How it works

Scanpacker checks the current inventory levels for every item in each pending order and classifies each order into one of three statuses:

• Available — All items in the order are in stock. The order can be fully fulfilled.
• Partial — Some items are available but others are short. The order can only be partially fulfilled right now.
• No stock — None of the items in the order have available inventory.

Orders are listed oldest first, matching the order of your pending orders queue. Scanpacker loads your whole queue automatically, one page at a time—rows and counts fill in as it works through your orders.

If an order ships in multiple parts, each shipment appears as its own row with a badge like Group 1 of 2.

Summary bar

At the top of the page, a row of buttons shows how many orders fall into each status:

• All — Every unfulfilled order, including orders in the process of being checked
• Ready — Orders with full stock
• Partial — Orders with some stock
• No stock — Orders with no available inventory

The counts update as Scanpacker loads your queue. Once loading finishes, the buttons become filters: click Ready, Partial, or No stock to show only those orders, and All to show everything again.

Order rows

Each row is tinted green, yellow, or red to match its availability, and shows:

Order tags, order notes, and packer notes appear underneath the row, just like in the pending orders queue.

Line item breakdown

Below each order, every line item is listed with its stock position:

• Product — Item name and SKU
• Inventory — How many are needed and how many are available (e.g. “need 3, have 1”). A gray +2 means two more units are on hand but allocated to earlier orders.
• Shortfall — A red −X shows how many units are short; a green ✓ means the item is fully in stock
• Untracked — Items without inventory tracking show an untracked label and are always treated as available

Stock calculation

Availability is based on the on-hand inventory at your current location, minus any units marked as damaged or in quality control.

• Batch reservations are deducted first — Items reserved in batches that haven’t shipped yet won’t be counted as available.
• Earlier orders consume stock first — If two orders need the same item and there’s only enough for one, the older order gets priority. This matches the order in which you’d pick them sequentially.

Because stock is shared across orders, the availability status you see reflects what would actually be available if you checked orders in sequence from oldest to newest.

The page shows a snapshot from when it loaded. Click Refresh in the top right to recalculate with the latest inventory.

Filtering orders

Click the Filter button in the top right to narrow down the orders shown. These are the same filters as the pending orders queue:

• Must be tagged — Show only orders that have a specific tag (e.g. “wholesale”)
• Exclude tagged — Hide orders with a specific tag (e.g. “hold”)
• Shipping method contains — Show only orders where the shipping method matches a piece of text (e.g. “express”)
• Exclude in-store pickup orders — Hide store pickup orders
• Single-item orders only — Show only orders with a single item

When a filter is active, a banner above the order list shows which filter is applied.

Note: Orders hidden by a filter still consume stock in the calculation, so the statuses you see match your real queue—not just the filtered view.

Starting orders from this page

If batch picking is enabled, you can start a batch directly from the availability page:

1. Use the checkboxes on the left side to select the orders you want to pick together. The checkbox in the header row selects everything shown.
2. Click Batch pick in the top right.
3. Review the new batch and start picking.

Orders that are already being checked, and orders that aren’t paid yet, appear grayed out and can’t be selected.

Tip: Click Ready in the summary bar first, then select all—your batch will only contain orders you can fully pick.
