Overview
You can handle a number of unusual sale supply situations by using the supply type ignore on sale orders:
- If there is a need to partially ship a product even when there is sufficient stock to fully fill the order e.g., customer orders 5, want to ship 4 and keep 1 for sample display purposes, then raise a purchase order to fill the rest of the order. You can also do this by setting the supply type on the customer card to ignore
- You can set your systems supply type to ignore. This will cause picking slips to print for all sales and will totally turn of stock allocation. This is useful only if you are just starting with Readysell and your stock on hand figures are very bad or non-existent
- You can force all lines on a sale to back order by printing the shipment then posting the whole sale shipment with supply as zero on all lines
