# Default Godowns for Stock-in-Hand.
**YouTube:** [How to Set Default Godowns for Stock in Hand in Sales Orders?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36uh0vIE02U)
## How to Set Default Godowns for Stock in Hand in Sales Orders?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to assign **Default Godowns for Stock-in-Hand** in the Sales Order Configuration. This feature allows you to view the available stock of selected godowns instead of the combined stock across all godowns during Sales Order entry.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Display stock from selected godowns only.
* Improve stock visibility during Sales Order entry.
* Help users check location-specific inventory.
* Prevent confusion caused by combined stock quantities.
* Support accurate inventory planning and order processing.
***
### Review the Default Behavior
Before enabling the feature, let's understand the default behavior.
* Initiate a **New Sales Order**.
* Select an Item.
**Result**
* The **Stock-in-Hand** column displays the **total available stock** of the item across **all godowns**.
* Although the stock may be distributed across multiple godowns, the system displays the combined quantity by default.
***
### Enable Default Godowns for Stock-in-Hand
* Open the **Sales Order Configuration** window.
* Navigate to the **Default Settings** section.
* Locate and enable the option labeled as:
> **"Default Godowns for Stock-in-Hand"**
**After enabling the option:**
* A list of available Godowns will appear.
* Select the Godown or Godowns whose stock you want to display during Sales Order entry.
* Save the configuration.
***
### Create a New Sales Order
* Initiate a **New Sales Order**.
* Select an Item.
**Result**
The **Stock-in-Hand** quantity now displays only the stock available in the selected Godown(s), instead of the combined stock across all locations.
***
### Verify the Stock
To verify the displayed stock:
* Open the **Stock Query Report**.
* Search and select the required Item.
#### Result
The report displays the stock available in each Godown.
For example:
* **Total Stock (All Godowns):** 183 Units
* **Store 1 Godown Stock:** 93 Units
Without any Godown configuration, the Sales Order displays the total stock of **30 units**.
After enabling **Default Godowns for Stock-in-Hand**, the Sales Order displays only the **20 units** available in the selected Main Godown.
***
### Key Benefits
* Displays location-specific inventory.
* Improves stock visibility during order entry.
* Prevents users from considering unavailable stock.
* Supports better inventory planning.
* Enhances order accuracy and warehouse management.
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Select only the Godowns relevant to the Sales Order process.
* Regularly verify Godown-wise stock using the Stock Query Report.
* Update the selected Godowns whenever warehouse assignments change.
* Use this feature to improve stock allocation and avoid fulfillment issues.
***
### Final Outcome
After enabling **Default Godowns for Stock-in-Hand**, Logic ERP displays stock quantities only from the selected Godown(s) during Sales Order entry. This provides users with accurate location-specific inventory information, improves order planning, and ensures better inventory control.

## 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:
```

```
`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.
