Manual orders: backorders and document selection
Manual orders can now be created when stock is insufficient, and you can choose an invoice or receipt before issuing the document.
Manual orders: backorders and document selection
We expanded manual order handling. You can accept an order for an item that is currently out of stock and choose the sales document type after creating the order.
What changed?
When creating a manual order, Kiero OMS lets you select an item with zero stock or enter a quantity above the available amount. The interface shows a warning, while the missing quantity becomes a backorder and may bring stock below zero.
In “Documents and payments”, you can choose Receipt or Invoice before generating the document. The switch is unavailable for integrated orders and after a document has already been issued.
How to use it
Add the item to a manual order even when it is not currently in stock. Then select the document type before clicking the generation button.
Good to know
Backorders apply to manual orders. The quantity must still be positive, and changing the selection never changes an already issued Invoice or Receipt.
