I'm writing a software for a store and I need to put on a report how much money is received when a customer puts an item on layaway, as well as when a customer cancels the layaway and gets the money back.

I just don't know how to name that reversed process of the item being put back to sale. I need a short sentence to make the report understandable.

Example:

Layaways: $459.00
Items back to sale from layaway: $239.00 <-- sentence is too long

Thanks!

  • What about "Canceled Items"?

    'Canceled items' could also be understood as 'canceled sales'. Maybe 'Canceled layaways' could work. How does it sound?

"Restock" may work. It's short and punchy, and seems to indicate what you mean.

    Restock is not completely precise. If the item was never delivered, but the layaway was canceled, this term fails to capture it.

  • +1, but to address Wally’s point that “restock[ing]” might imply that the item has actually left the building, perhaps “reshelved [from layaway]” would be clearer. (cc: @JavierRosas )

How about

Layaways: $459.00  
Canceled layaways: $239.00
