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

Procedure

This can be facilitated via the following workflow:

1. Select the sale order

2. Click to set the Supply Type to Ignore for all lines to turn off stock allocation . Refer to Supply Types for more details

   
   

   You can also set supply type at the line level

   
   

3. Clickto create a new shipment

4. Update the Qty Shipped to the required quantity

   
   

5. Complete the shipment as per usual

6. Raise a purchase order for the unshipped/outstanding quantity

   
   

7. Create and complete a new shipment for the unshipped/outstanding quantity when the corresponding purchase receipt is processed

   
   

   Instead of manually creating shipment for the outstanding quantity you can change the product line Supply Type to Allocated and Auto-warehouse (if enabled) will generate shipment and picking slip for you.
