在庫 is the standard, common word for stock or inventory. あり荷 is a rare synonym, mostly seen in older or specialized business contexts.
Compound of あり (ari, 'existing') + 荷 (ni, 'cargo, goods'), literally 'existing goods'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but it follows a common pattern for business terminology.
