System Tips You Can Use
Occasionally when you special order parts for a customer, you have to order in a unit pack larger than what the customer wants. When those parts come in, they go in your special order bin, not in regular inventory. If you only sell the quantity the customer requested, however, you'll end up with extra parts lying dormant in the special order bin instead of in regular inventory where they could make you some money.
POWER has a report that lets you catch this situation so you can return the parts to regular inventory faster. Here's how it works:
- Set up a special order report that selects special order parts that are 'Sold,' but that have a quantity on hand greater than zero in the Parts Options application under Functions/Define Special Order report/SPO Report Selections.
- If you prefer, customize the print layout settings.
- Remove the original customer name and phone number, since you don't need that information anymore.
- Include details about the current on-hand quantity and sale details.
