Form not routing to named route Laravel 5.8

Question

I know I am doing something very basic here but I can't seem to find the issue. My form isn't routing to its named route. Am I naming my route the wrong way?

Form

<form action="{{route('inventory.deduct', 'test')}}" method="post">
    @csrf
    <div class="modal-body">
        Enter number of items to issue for:
        <input type="text" name="itemname" id="itemname" class="form-control" readonly>
        <input type="text" id="itemid" name="itemid" hidden>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
    </div>
</form>

Route

Route::post('inventory/{id}/deduct', 'InventoryController@deduct')->name('inventory.deduct');

A mistake that often appears in routing is that 'inventory.deduct' already exists as a route in `routes/web.php`. First come, first serve. Except that 'test' isn't an integer, all looks fine. Integer or not, the route and 'test' should arrive in your controller. Unless you make use of a regex check in routes/web.php. — Dimitri Mostrey, Sep 10 '19 at 03:49
@DimitriMostrey that what I was thinking. Regardless of the parameter it should enter my controller but it doesn't. — kwestionable, Sep 10 '19 at 03:51

Change your route parameter as follows..

<form action="{{route('inventory.deduct', ['id'=>$itemid])}}" method="post">

OR

<form action="{{route('inventory.deduct', $itemid)}}" method="post">

Both will work..

You change your action route because you pass the parameter in route.

FORM

 <form action="{{route('inventory.deduct',$collection->id)}}" method="post">

            @csrf
            <div class="modal-body">
                Enter number of items to issue for:
                <input type="text" name="itemname" id="itemname" class="form-control" readonly>
                <input type="text" id="itemid" name="itemid" hidden>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-footer">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
            </div>
        </form>

Route

Route::post('inventory/{id}/deduct', 'InventoryController@deduct')
        ->name('inventory.deduct');

I hope this i may help you.

Pass {id} in an array as you called in web.php file. ['id'=>$itemid] add it in your route of form because in web.php file you're expecting id so you need to pass it in form.

<form action="{{ route('inventory.deduct',['id'=>$itemid]) }}" method="post">
@csrf
</form>

web.php is correct.

Route::post('inventory/{id}/deduct', 'InventoryController@deduct')
        ->name('inventory.deduct');
