Inventory Data Values:

On Hand	Physical quantity on hand in M. Block’s warehouses
Hard Commit	Inventory is hard committed when the order is released to the warehouse for processing. The hard commitment represents an allocation against an actual physical location in the warehouse where it will be picked from.
Soft Commit	Inventory is soft committed when the order has been put through our Allocation and Edit (A&E) process, which moves order lines from an uncommitted to committed status. These order lines have not been specifically directed to an actual physical warehouse location yet. Includes in-process orders as well as back orders.
Units Available	Quantity on hand minus encumbered inventory (committed to sales orders)
Units On Order	Quantity on open purchase orders. Reflects any expected receipt, whether in transit or not. Does not include transfers between M. Block branches.
Units On Other SO	Quantity from a sales order that has not been through the Allocation and Edit (A&E) process. Once the allocation process has been run for this customer/order, this quantity will move to soft commit.
