Managing inventory levels effectively is critical for businesses that sell physical products, especially when dealing with high volumes of orders. The **SME: Available Qty Column** feature adds an "Available Quantity" column to the sales order lines, providing real-time visibility into the stock levels of each product. This feature helps sales teams quickly check product availability during the order creation process, ensuring that they can confirm orders based on accurate stock information.
This feature is particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that need to streamline their sales process by providing instant access to inventory data. By displaying the available quantity of each product in the sales order lines, the **SME: Available Qty Column** feature reduces the risk of overselling and backorders, improves order accuracy, and enhances customer satisfaction. It allows sales teams to manage customer expectations regarding product availability and shipping timelines, ensuring smooth order fulfillment.

This feature is particularly valuable for businesses that manage a wide range of products and need to ensure that their sales teams have accurate inventory data during the order process. For example, a retail company that sells electronics can use the **SME: Available Qty Column** feature to display real-time stock levels for each product directly in the sales order lines. This allows the sales team to confirm that a product is available before completing the order, reducing the risk of delays or backorders. By providing customers with accurate information about product availability, the company can improve the overall customer experience and ensure that orders are fulfilled more efficiently.

By ensuring that sales teams can check product availability before confirming an order, this feature improves order accuracy, reduces the risk of overselling, and enhances customer satisfaction.
