If Ascend has setup purchase orders so you can display a full range of products you may not have in stock there are two stock display options.
Show on order as stock
With this option you can show the amount on order as stock in PinnacleApp. This is added to the balance on hand.
3 on hand
2 on order
Will display as 5 in stock.
Don't show order as stock
If you do not want to show on order values as stock the products stock will show 0. You can then override this in PinnacleApp by setting 'Product can be purchased...' This feature can be accessed via the Ascend product edit menu or via the bulk actions.
There are 4 actions:
Clear Purchase Options
This will clear all 'Can be purchased...' options from the selected product(s).
Only when stock is at hand
This will enable the product(s) to be purchased when stock is available in store only.
When stock is at hand or there is stock at the supplier
This will enable the product(s) to be purchased if there is stock at hand or if it is in stock at the supplier (Trek only)
Always, even if it is out of stock or not in stock at the supplier
This will show the product(s) as 'In Stock' regardless of stock levels
