SOP Error Log
Releasable Orders
Any of the following conditions will prevent the release of an order subject to user rights to override them;
- Required By Date
- Insufficient stock (TOS)
- Title not yet published
- Stock on stop
- Account suspended
- Credit limit restrictions
Required By Date
It is auto-filled with today’s date. The order is released if the Required By date is today’s date or in the past. A Required By date in the future prevents the order from being released.
Insufficient stock (TOS)
In such case you will get a message similar to the one below. At this point the user is prompted by the system to choose a course of action:
- Reject
- Carry on with available quantity
- Backorder
If the user chooses to reject the order, an acknowledgement note is printed.
On the other hand, if you choose to back-order, the system records a due against the customer and stock title. The invoice becomes releasable only when the restraining conditions are resolved.
In the SOP window, you are able to release invoices, credit notes, proformas, picking notes and delivery note in one of three ways
