In this blog, we will see how to create a Sales order in Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS 90/200 ERP) using Special Items as its Line Items.
In Sage 100 ERP, Users can use Special Item Code to those Inventory parts that have been written off or slow moving but are still sellable. This is done by assigning ‘*’ sign to the Inventory item in the SO or Invoice entry detail Line * (example: #12345).
In the below example, we have explained the process in detail;
1. We will create a Sales Order against the Customer “Abercrombie, Kristy”
3. Inventory activity for this particular Item has been slow moving with only sales of 5 units in the previous Fiscal year. Therefore, we would be selling it as a Special Item to this Customer.
The main purpose of using special Items in Sales order is to highlight those items from stock which are moving quite slowly and lagging behind in sales as compare to other inventory Items. However Account manager can track the invested cost and sales of special items differently than normal inventory items.
