Exclusive Supply for a Customer Order

This method can only be accessed when the Company Preferences setting "Disregard stock on Customer Order Purchasing" is checked. When the Supply button is used under this company setting the user is asked if they wish to supply regardless of stock availability. Answering Yes to this option will cause the system to generate supply orders for all outstanding items on the customer order (ie. all order lines not already invoiced or on supply orders specifically for this order). Answering No will perform a regular purchase as described above.

Warning. This method can lead to over ordering of goods as it does not take into account stock on hand or unallocated stock available from other supply orders.
