Special Orders Overview | Inventory Overview

Pro

A special order item can only be added to inventory while making a document (customer order, sales receipt, purchase order, or receiving voucher).

When you add a special order item to a document, you are prompted to define the item on a modified inventory window, allowing only certain information to be entered. The item type is automatically set to Special Order. Later the item can be converted to a regular inventory item, if desired.

To create and list a new special order item on a document:

1. Start the document in the usual fashion.

2. Select Add N ew Special Order Item from the I Want To menu.

3. Define the item in the inventory Special Order Item window.

Use normal add item procedures to enter information about the item. Certain item fields/features are not available for special order items, such as item type, item number, reorder point, the ability to define multiple vendors, styles, assemblies or groups, and you cannot print tags.

4. When finished, choose S ave & Select to record the item in inventory and list it on the document.
