Stock Allocation

Stock is allocated on FIFO basis except where serial numbers or bin locations are enabled and stock selection can be changed.  A sales order can only take stock from the warehouse that it is created in.  

Stock is temporarily allocated from the stock on hand as each inventory order line is entered.  Items out of stock are placed on back order unless the item is unavailable for re-ordering.  Stock can also be forced onto back order to maintain stock levels or reserve stock for selected clients.  As the sales order is being saved, stock levels are checked again to ensure availability (another order may have be saved in the interim) and the stock on hand figures are updated.  A message displays the part number and line number in error when stock no longer exists – e.g. ‘Error: IN_SOH Update (PartNo: xxxx Line: y)’
