The Availability view shows how many of each inventory item are free on a given date or date range. It uses the same reservation logic that the calendar, quote builder, and event editor use, so the numbers you see are the numbers the booking workflow sees.
Accessing Availability
Open a calendar day to see the day detail panel, or use the availability view from the booking workflow when you are building a quote or editing an event.
How it works
Availability is based on overlapping reservation windows. When setup or takedown dates are set, the reservation window stretches from setup start through takedown end. The engine subtracts booked quantity from total stock across:
- Local events
- Google Calendar events that are merged into the tenant calendar
- Setup and takedown phase windows
- Weekend-job spreading when a booking is marked as a weekend job
The day detail panel shows the result as rented versus total for normal items and buildable count for composite items.
Composite items
Build kits are calculated from component stock. A kit's availability is the number of complete kits that can still be built from the free component stock, using the most limited component as the bottleneck.
Gotchas
- Google Calendar items only affect item-level availability when their descriptions can be parsed into tracked items or mappings.
- Weekend jobs spread across the full Friday-Saturday-Sunday block in the availability calculation.
- Composite items with no recipe do not have a useful availability number yet.
- If you want to keep historical context, zero an item out instead of deleting it.
