When something is en stock, it means it's currently available. This phrase is commonly used in retail and business contexts. You can also use it to talk about having a supply of something in general. For example, if you have a lot of patience, you could say you have patience en stock (though this is more figurative).
A common mistake is trying to translate 'in stock' literally as 'en almacén' or 'en inventario.' While those phrases can refer to items being in a warehouse or inventory, en stock specifically conveys immediate availability for sale or use. Another mistake is forgetting the 'en' and just saying 'stock' – it's always 'en stock.'
