    Automatic stock reordering on purchase orders

    Is there any way of being able to Sell the Stock in Store BUT Not make new Purchase Orders?

    If you set reorder and overstock levels to 0, stock should not be reordered because it's considered discontinued. But if any of that stock has been ordered by a customer (back ordered) then the system will still order what's required to fill the outstanding order.

    Not quite that. Want to be able to prevent a Stock Item from being Re-ordered in any circumstances but still be able to Invoice out any remaining Stock.

    Unfortunately at present there is no feature in CAPITAL that will let you simply "tick" a stock item as discontinued so that stock is never re-ordered, even when back orders are pending in the system for that item. At least not "out of the box". But there are simple ways to do this or deal with the issue in an alternate way.

    Under Installation Workshop, Install|Advanced|Alert Messages, you can activate pop-up messages for stock items. Here you could place a message that the stock item is discontinued and should not be re-ordered. This would appear automatically when users went to order the item.

    Another approach would be to utilise the R-REORD.MAC scripting hook to create this functionality for yourself. For example you could create a user defined field using Screen Builder called "NOCONTINUE" and then have a script such as the following:

    If STAUX000->NOCONTINUE = "Y"
    Return 0
    Endif

    Return QtyNeeded

    The above would always force the reorder quantity to zero for items that had this field ticked.
