I'm assuming that you have not revised the item grid for selecting items in OE that would show you the Qty on Hand, Qty on Sales Order, and Qty on PO. By default the grid only shows the item# and description, but always need to revise this grid for every item selection so that you can see the qty status of that item, as above.

That being said, we have also been testing a Gridview 9.0 drill down that links between Inventory, Purchase Orders for Adagio, and Order Entry. Upon selecting the item, you can see instantly (say 3 -4 seconds) qty on hand and/or available as a calculated column, and which PO's by expected receipt date, and which SO's are committed to for that item. Using an inventory of about 75000 skus.
