Hello Dolibarr Community,

I hope you’re all doing well!

I’m working on a use case and would like your help or confirmation that I’m setting this up correctly in Dolibarr. Here’s the situation:

- I have around **100 units of a product** in stock.
- There are **more than 5 salespeople** (commercial agents) in my team.
- Sometimes, a **client makes a sales order (reservation)** for a large quantity, like 90 units.
- I want Dolibarr to **automatically reserve those 90 units** once the order is validated, so other salespeople **don’t accidentally sell more than what’s available**.
- If another salesperson tries to sell 100 units, the system should **warn them or block** the sale because only 10 units are actually available (after subtracting the reserved stock).

My goal is to **prevent overselling** and have clear visibility for the team on what is actually available to sell.

### ❓ My Questions:

1. Is it possible to configure Dolibarr so that **stock is reserved automatically when a sales order is validated**?
2. Can Dolibarr **block or warn** a user if they try to validate a sales order that exceeds the available (non-reserved) stock?
3. Do I need to use any specific modules or custom development to enforce this behavior?
4. Has anyone implemented this kind of setup successfully? Any advice or best practices?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Go into home, setup, applications and modules, then search for stock. In there you can change when the stock are deducted
