If you intend on using stock control and tracking item quantities, GA3 includes an easy to use order management system which generates supplier orders as you create invoices, this helps you keep track of what items you have ordered and what items you are waiting for.

The options on this page allow you to enable the ordering system for items which are not tracked, so even though the quantities in stock can remain at 0, you can still take advantage of the ordering system.

 
There's two buttons to easily enable the correct options as shown above, alternatively you can manually specify the options depending on your needs

Enable Add to stock prompt for non existing part numbers

With this enabled, any part number you enter onto a document which doesn't already exist in your stock system can be added as non tracked for future use.

Use stock order system for non tracked & non stock items

With this enabled, items not listed in stock or those listed with tracking disabled will still be processed for order management.

Update sale prices in stock database when changed on a document

With this enabled if you change the retail price of an item whilst creating a document, the stock item will also be updated for future use.

Update cost prices in stock database when changed on a document

With this enabled if you change the cost price of an item whilst creating a document, the stock item will also be updated for future use.
