# Commitment of Stock

When a sales order is confirmed, the system allocates or "commits" the stock required to fulfill that order. This ensures that the products are reserved for the customer and not accidentally sold to someone else.

**Stock Commitment Process:**

* **Checking Availability:** Before committing stock, the system verifies if the required quantity is in stock.
* **Allocating Stock:** Once verified, the system allocates the items to the sales order, updating the available stock levels.
* **Managing Backorders:** If stock is insufficient, the system can place the order on hold or create a backorder to fulfill the request when stock is replenished.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.pakk.io/school-of-erp/sales-order-process/commitment-of-stock.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
