Acumens Sales & Special-Order Management (NW)

 Use Cases for Special Orders:   A special order allows a customer to make specific requests or instructions, often for an item that is not normally stocked, in addition to other unique arrangements. Special orders fall into these broad categorizations:

• Non-Stock items: These are items not typically kept in stock, requiring the seller to order from a supplier.
• Customizations: These involve items that need to be made to specific requirements like a custom-built piece of furniture.
• Special editions: These could be for limited or special edition products.
• Special pricing: A special order might involve a request for a lower price than the regular selling price.

 Special Order Reservations:  This feature allows for reservation of item quantities for customers in purchase order and transfer order documents. The quantity ordered for a customer cannot be used sold or used to fulfill other customer orders. It enhances calculation of inventory availability that includes quantities reserved for special orders.

 Special Order Delivery Scheduling:   Helps track and manage delivery timelines for orders, ensuring transparency and on-time fulfilment. A customer can prepay for a large quantity of an item and request a phase delivery of the quantity ordered. There is full tracking of the outstanding quantity.
