    It means that is the quantity you still own or that much inventory you have in your warehouse.
     
    In the Item Ledger Entry table, the Remaining Quantity field shows the quantity that has not yet been applied. If the remaining quantity is more than 0, then the Open check box is selected.

    Let's say you purchase an item for quantity 19.
     
    Your item ledger entry will say remaining quantity 19.
     
    Then you sell 7 of them. You now have two entries.
     
    - Purchase : Quantity 19; Remaining Quantity 12;
    - Sale : Quantity -7; Remaining Quantity 0;
     
    If you sell 2 more. You now have three entries.
    - Purchase : Quantity 19; Remaining Quantity 11;
    - Sale : Quantity -7; Remaining Quantity 0;
    - Sales : Quantity -1; Remaining Quantity 0;

    The remaining quantity of 12 only refers to the specific ledger entry, which is purchase receipt POR503708. So on that receipt you bought a quantity of 12, and all 12 are still remaining. If overall you have 19, that means the other 7 are from another item ledger entry.
     
    On each item ledger entry you have a quantity field, which specifies the quantity of that entry, and a remaining quantity field which is a system calculated field that automatically updates based on the quantity field. To simplify it, every time you buy an item, the system keeps track of the quantity bought in the quantity field, and then when you use or sell that item, that system keeps track in the remaining quantity field how much is left from the quantity that was bought.
