Sales order influence on inventory level

Question

Hello everybody ! 
 Here's the situation: 
 Let's say client A call on Monday. I input a SO in Sage for 2 Item Z. 
 On Thursday, client B call and ask if I have 2 item Z in stock. Look in my stock on Sage, see I have 2 left and say "yes, let me ship this to you!". But then I go to my physical inventory and what a surprise, no more item Z ! It's packed up ready to ship. But because the invoice is not done yet, I could not see that the 2 item Z where already sold... 
 So my question would be: Is it possible to make my SOs to influence on my inventory level ? So that as soon as I input a SO the inventory level goes down. 
 Hope this was clear enough. 
 Thank you guys.

the inventory/services section shows what is electronically available to ship double clicking on the item shows how many have been purchased, and not yet electronically received and how many have been allocated to other customer, and not yet electrically shipped assuming that the computer information matches the warehouse, you could ship the next customer 22 batteries if the customer wanted 26, you could find out when the four on purchase orders will arrive, and ship 22 today and 4 more when they arrive, or see if the customer can wait x days and ship 26 batteries 
 it's a good idea to drill down, the information could help make a sale - especially if you think you have none, and there a purchase order due to be delivered today with enough quantity to ship
