Loose Inventory
The Loose Inventory is summarized per Profile group and refers to roasted coffee that is not yet packaged.
To maintain a good overview of your stock, it is important to make use of Profile groups, as your products are defined by Profile group.
The Loose Inventory takes all roasts from the last 30 days into account.

The table contains the following fields:
- On-hand - The total weight of all roasts (PR lots) that have been roasted within the past 30 days but that have not yet been packaged. (ie, how much loose inventory is sitting in bins at the roastery?)
- Ordered - The total weight of all orders received within the past 30 days but that have not yet been fulfilled. (ie, how much coffee do I need for my current orders?)
- Allocated - This columns only shows allocated if you select roasts manually.
- To roast - This column displays the total amount of coffee ordered for the selected profile group, which includes both single origins and post-roast blends.
- In packing - The total weight of all roasts required by a packaging plan that have been roasted within the past 30 days. (ie, how much coffee do I need to meet my packaging requirements?)
- Scheduled - The total weight of roasts scheduled for within 7 days into the future. After roasting this weight will be added to 'On-hand' (ie, how much coffee will I have when these scheduled roasts are completed?)
- Available - The available amount is calculated by On-hand - Allocated.
By clicking on the 
Adjust weight button on the right side of the page you can record any changes and/or discrepancies, so you will always have an accurate level of your stock.
