In Interprise Suite 6.0, upon creating an order, by default the allocated quantity will always be the same as the ordered quantity regardless of the free stocks available in your inventory.

Now, in Connected Business 13, the stock allocation process has been enhanced in such a way that you can now manage the allocation of items based on the free stocks you have in your physical inventory. As you enter the item quantity in the Quantity column, the value in the Allocated column will always be equal to the number of free stocks available. You can manually change the allocated value to a quantity greater than the free stocks available.

Here’s how we have enhanced the Stock Allocation process during order entry in Sales Order or Sales Invoice.

On the Sales Order form, you may enter a quantity (which can be greater than or equal to the number of free stocks) in the Quantity column. The system automatically fills the Allocate column with a value that is equal to the available free stock. See snapshot below.

You can only change the allocated quantity in the Sales Order/Sales Invoice form if the Ignore Stock Levels on Allocation is set to True. You can enable or disable this option from the Preference form of the Customer module.

You cannot disable the Ignore Stock Levels on Allocation option if you have negative free stocks.
