Staged Processing Orders Future Awaiting Stock

For the Other Action Menu options (press F9 or ) see Sales Invoice Other Actions Menu.

Awaiting Stock is one of the Future stages that are for orders with attributes which require them to be segregated from the main processing stages because if they were processed it would create a problem.

By default, the Awaiting Stock stage is used to hold orders which are less than 100% fulfilled or are the remaining part of a part-shipped order. Users are able to create custom invoice rules to move orders into this stage should the default setting not suit their business needs. This can be done by creating a new invoice rule in [ Sales Invoice | Other Actions Menu | Edit Invoice Rules ].

Notes:

• The system will look at custom invoice rules defined in [ Sales Invoice | Other Actions Menu | Edit Invoice Rules ] before applying any system rules as defined in [ System Operations | Edit System Values | Sales | Delivery ].
• The position of this stage is NOT editable, its position will always be in the future stage.
• When a Delivery Note is physically being processed and the system is updating stock the user will not be able to Release an order from a future stage.
• To keep customers informed about the status of their back orders they can be emailed; this requires setting up, see How To: Email Customers about the status of their Back Orders.

Awaiting Stock Bottom Action Buttons

is used by default to move all or only selected orders into the Released stage.
Note: the system will warn users that they are attempting to release orders that are not fully fulfillable. The user must confirm to action the move.
