How to get shortfall to show what is on PART order aswell?

SUGGESTED

Hi,

When creating Purchase Orders we are using the Shortfall feature. 

If there is a PART order it doesn't take this into account. E.g If I had a bottle which we had 0 free stock of and I just had an order come through for 5 of these, this becomes a PART order as other items were able to be allocated. Now, I need to make a purchase order for 5 of these, but the re-order quantity is only 3. So when these come in I will then need to order another 2, I wouldn't know this unless I am the person that made the sales order and also am the person making the purchase order. As this isn't the case, how can I get my shortfall report to show what is also on PART order? 

I hope this makes sense. 

Kind regards,

Danny

    Hi Danny

    For an order to appear on the report it must not be cancelled or on hold and it must not be a pro forma or a quotation. Also the Settings > Company Preferences > Parameters > Allow negative stock check box must be clear.  The filter on the report ensures that part orders will show. 

    There is an issue where the report may exclude some products even though they have a shortfall. To resolve this, download and restore the Sage Accounts - Fixed Reports Backup. For further information about this, please refer to article 31333.
