Problem:
Suppliers like Digikey don't always have all listed parts in stock. So it can be frustrating planning with unavailable parts. They do provide this information via their APIs though.
Solution:
It would be great to have "Available Stock" field per Supplier in the "Shopping information" tab of parts.
On part creation or update the available stock could be updated as well.
Digikey for example already provides this in their API response as
Mouse has in their API response:
"AvailabilityOnOrder": [
{
"Quantity": 0,
"Date": "2026-07-31T08:54:11.885Z"
}
and
"AvailabilityInStock": "string",`
I assume it's one those two for Mouser.
To have the availability directly in Part-DB would really speed up ordering parts. At the moment I have to click on the Supplier part link and check manually if the part is available.
