Special Order and Reservation

Hello Expert

Please advice me on the design of inventory control for Special Order: Can the inventory purchased by Special Purchase Order be reserved for Special Sales Order?

My client has non-stock items which is purchased every time when sales order comes in and wants to use the Purchasing Price as a COGS for the sales order. So the Special Order seems the right function for them.

The issue I am seeing here is that the inventory purchased by Special PO is not reserved for the Special SO. It can be taken for other Sales Order. To prevent this situation do we still need to make a reservation entry between Special PO and SO? Then what is the recommended timing to make the reservation (in Req. worksheet or from individual PO)?

I am curious what kind of inventory control /reservation NAV standard assumes for Special Order case.

Thank you for your advice!

    One way of doing this is by using Lot No, so you can link between sales and purchase quite easily without doing reservation

    Have you looked at the "NonStock" functionality in NAV? Look at this link from CRT. It may seem old, but the theory is still there:

    Good Luck!
