Vendor Order - Ordering Packaged Parts as Individual Items

This article will go through the scenario of ordering an individual item on a Vendor Order

Scenario:

A Customer wants to purchase  1 only individual item of Part# Q1234

The Dealership knows that Part# Q1234 can only be ordered from the Vendor on the Vendor Record (Smith & Co) as a packaged part (package = 10 items)

The Dealership does not want to lose the sale but the Dealership also doesn't want to be stuck with the rest of the packaged quantity ie 9 individual items left in stock

The Dealership decides to order that 1 individual item from another Vendor (Cup Supplier) who does sell the part individually

How to Process:

• Create the Customer Order as normal and add the part (remember you can sell per individual item on Customer Orders)

• Create an Order > Parts Order for the other Vendor (Cup Supplier)

Click on and search to add the relevant part

• At the moment it is automatically wanting to order 1 package of 10

Click into the line item for the Action box to appear > check the radio box next to Order as Individual Items > click on

• The line item will change to say Ordered As Individual Items

• Finalise the Vendor Order as normal

• When the part is received > finalise the Vendor Receiving / Vendor Invoice as normal

• Finalise the Customer Order as required
