Make sure table has inventory (9)
I believe the answer is:
checklist
'inventory' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'make sure table' is the wordplay.
'make sure' becomes 'check' ('check' can be a synonym of 'make sure'**).
'table' becomes 'list'.
'check'+'list'='CHECKLIST'
'has' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for checklist that I've seen before include "sort of schedule" , "Reminder, itemised" , "Items to be performed" , "What's used to verify" .)
