order.view access and the exact SKU, variant/size and branch.

Where to go

Products → Variant stock → Reservations / Orders

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Open reservations from the selected variant and confirm the result still matches that SKU/size before acting.
  2. Review PENDING, PAID and PACKING orders still holding stock, including bundle/recipe components from the consumption snapshot.
  3. Compare reserved total with explained quantities. Any unmatched amount remains unexplained; never conclude nobody holds it.
  4. Resolve the source—process or authorized-cancel the order, or investigate an old hold—then recheck. Never clear reservations with SQL or a manual adjustment.

How to verify success

Every reserved unit is explained or explicitly marked unexplained with an investigation owner.

Limits & things to check

A failed query does not mean no holder; shipped or cancelled orders are not current reservation owners.
