On Hand As Of. This represents the beginning stock balance minus sales and plus purchases you make during the month, which gives you the Total On Hand As Of.
On Purchase Order As. This represents beginning PO balance plus any current month purchases you have not received yet, which gives you Total On Purchase Order.
