Entering a special product

When a customer orders an unusually large quantity of a product and you do not want to affect usage or stock levels, enter a stock product as a special product.

Note: We recommend that line items designated as Special also be tied to a purchase order or warehouse transfer. When the product is received in Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry, it is not automatically allocated to the line unless the Order Type is something other than Stock.
  1. Select Sale > Entry > Order.
  2. Select Stock Order in the Order Type field.
  3. Complete the remaining fields in the Initiate page, and then click Next.
  4. In Advanced Line Entry mode, select Special in the Line Type list.

    If you change the line type after you specify other values for the line, the line resets to default values.

  5. Specify the product and the quantity.
  6. Click Sourcing.
  7. Tie the line to a new or existing purchase order or transfer warehouse, and then click Submit.
  8. Click Add to add the line to an order.
  9. Finish the order.
