...but shouldn't.
The problem is, an order is made up for a customer. They may order several items, but may not pick up their order for a week or two. But we have their order sitting there ready to go the moment they walk in the door. The problem is, even though these items are committed, they remain seen as stock on hand, and the reorder trigger doesn't seem to fire. Essentially, all the stock could be in made up orders with nothing left on the shelf, but the Purchase Order wont care as we have heaps of stock on hand! So far the only way I see around this is a lot of manual mucking about with order entries etc.
Shouldn't we have the option to treat committed items as no longer being considered stock on hand? I would think this would be an easy modification to add in.
