Display "On Order" Inventory - System Option

>Utilities>System Options>Order Entry>Inventory

Category-Configuration

Type- Can be Global, Assigned or User

If this option is set to Yes, inventory that is on order will be included in all areas where inventory is displayed.

a)Allows user to see what is in stock plus what has been ordered (on order) within the inventory module.

b) This can be very useful in allowing the ability to “pre-assign” material that is needed for current or future jobs (when in stock product levels are too low to assign for what is needed)

c) This also aids in scheduling installation when all goods are not immediately available.

d) However, if the person responsible for entering the orders is not allowed to see anything other than what products are available to sell (Product Driven OE), it will be up to the individual assigning materials and scheduling to assign any materials available or may become available (ON ORDER).

e)There is a separate option for this for Sales Floor Assistant.
