Allocation of Item Back Orders in Business Central

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 470

Is there a way to allocate sales backorders of products not in a first come first served basis, as that seem to be the default rule in Business Central?

i.e.

  • Customer on hold so don't want to allocate to them
  • Half the delivery arrived so want to allocate half the stock
  • Some sales orders may be forecasts to coincide with future purchase orders

Any help would be great!

(We have moved from Sage 200 2013 and In "Order Processing > Allocate Stock" we can run an allocation sequence on a product group, stock item etc and pick what orders to allocate stock too. Does Business Central have a feature like that? Or is there a 3rd party tool that would create a similar process?)

I have the same question (0)
