Dave This is a requirement for me too as well as EOQ purchasing, and I am sure for all the rest of my old customers that I approach after the current customer is mostly happy. I have a couple more weeks of tweeking to do in sales order entry and billing accounts and then I'll be doing this.

I was not suggesting that a fix would be unconditional. Rather, something along the lines you suggest here- a conditional property that can be checked to determine whether or not stock should be checked before issuing. For this particular client this is an absolute requirement. In fact, this has been an client expectation / requirement for most of the ERP implementations I have done (most not with OFB). -Dave Skip wrote: > Dave > > I agree that this is a big hole/bug.
