# How To Guide: Reserving Inventory for a Ticket

1. Introduction

2. You can reserve inventory from the **Parts & Labor** tab on a ticket.

3. Items marked for inventory management will display the ***Reserve*** indicator under the **Reservation** column.

If there is inventory on hand, the link will be lit. If there is no inventory on hand, the link will be un-clickable and grayed out.

4. If there is no inventory on hand, you will need to create a purchase order to receive the inventory before you can reserve the item.

Alternatively, you can manually add stock of a product from either the product catalog or from the Inventory Management screen.

5. Click the **checkbox** to reserve an item.

This first item is a *serialized* item as indicated by the upc code icon next to the product name.

6. From the **Reserve Inventory** screen, select the **Source Location** of the item.

Clicking will show you all locations along with the count available at each location.

7. Once you select the Source Location, serialized items will display the **serial numbers** you can choose from. You can search for specific serial numbers if necessary.

Click the checkbox to select the items to reserve.

10. Reserving a non-serialized item is a very similar process. Click the **checkbox** next to *Reserve* on the item.

Notice this item does not have the upc code icon so it is not serialized.

11. Select the **Reserve Quantity** for the item.

15. Any items that have counts in the **Reserved** column can be opened by clicking the **down arrow** to view details of the reservation.

16. Details will display about the reserved item, including the **Source** and **Destination** **Locations**, as well as serial numbers if it is a serialized item.

To remove the reservation, click the trash can icon.

17. To view available inventory on any item on the screen, you can click the **down arrow** on the product.

![17](https://export.supademo.com/renders/saxdoscvlx/out.png)

18. A pop-up will appear displaying any locations that have available inventory and the **Quantity Available**.

![18](https://export.supademo.com/renders/d126bd7mkr/out.png)

19\. To view all existing reservations globally across your system, you'll navigate to the **Inventory Management** screen from the **Inventory** main menu item. From there, select the **Reservations** option.

![19](https://export.supademo.com/renders/1sxgpshfua/out.png)

20. You'll see details about the product, the corresponding ticket ID, and the location information. This screen displays both serialized and non-serialized items, but for serialized items you can click the **down arrow** on the quantity shown in the **Serials** column to display the exact serial numbers reserved.
