What is the Shortfall facility on the Sales Order Processing window used for?
The Shortfall option allows you to generate a purchase order from outstanding sales orders that cannot be created from existing stock levels. The recommended procedure for using the Order Shortfall option is: – • Run the Shortfall Generator option for all sales orders you want to fulfil. • Print the information displayed on the Shortfall Generator window. • Check with your suppliers to make sure that they can meet the delivery requirements e.g. quantity, price and date and noting, against each product code on the Shortfall report, the supplier who will be providing the product and the cost price. • Select the product codes on the Shortfall Generator window, that you order from the same supplier, and create a purchase order for each supplier.
