Sales order - Pulling quantity from system

Question

When we process a sales order and have quantity attached, it does not physically pull from our inventory or give us an on hold notice or anything. We are running into inventory issues. We may have a sales order open for a few days while we are performing work but in the mean time our inventory is not correct and we are running into costly issues. Any recommendations. Thanks

Go to the Maintain menu > Default Information > Inventory Item. Select the Ordering tab and set both "Sales Invoice / Receipt Out of Stock Warning Message" and "Sales Order / Proposal Out of Stock Warning" to "Warn if inventory item is out of stock based on quantity available." 
 A sales order doesn't (and shouldn't) reduce quantity on hand, but it does reduce quantity available.
