# About Purchasing Available vs. Ordering Available Transactions

There are two types of purchase Transactions in Quantify:

- Purchase Available Products Transactions add selected Products to the available inventory at the selected Branch Office, making them available for shipping or renting immediately. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/b693c775-1450-4153-92e0-bd2d428ba883.png)
- Order Available Products place selected Products On Order and the Products must be [received](https://avontus.document360.io/v1/docs/receiving-an-on-order-transaction) before Quantify adds them to available inventory. On-Order Transactions have a green arrow next to them. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/9ed36b7a-a6e2-48ee-a706-be27783ecaf9.png)

Order (Re-Rent) and Order (New) Transactions work exactly the same as Order (Available) Transactions, the only difference being the owner of the material.
