Client Query - Why hasn't Stock Adjustments for a Stock Item Assigned it to an Order?

Question

We did a stock adjustment for a stock item, why has this not been allocated to Sales order waiting for this stock item?

Answer

The preferred process to achieve the above would be to raise a Purchase Order, this is because when the stock is then booked in on a delivery note, it will be allocated to any orders awaiting awaiting that item. This is providing you have allowed Back Order release on the delivery note.

To resolve this:
  1. Open the Sales Order.
  2. Green select the item
  3. Click on the Grid Actions button
  4. Select Assign Stock
  5. Repeat for each item affected.
You should be raising PO’s and then booking the deliveries in as this process auto releases orders when Back Orders are allowed and the items boked in.
