Adding Misc Inventory Items to Orders

Miscellaneous regular inventory items can be added to order by selecting Add Art->Add Misc Inventory on the Quick Sale and Work Order form toolbars. The Find Misc Inventory form is then displayed to allow you to pick from a list of misc inventory items (see Finding Records for more information on using the Find Misc Inventory form).

All regular inventory items are displayed in this form, regardless of the quantity currently in stock. This enables you to place items on back order for a customer. Once the item has been placed on a customer order, the quantity of the item sold will appear as 'On Hold' on the Misc Inventory form and on related misc (regular) inventory reports.

Back Orders:

Gallery Express will automatically check the current stock levels of an item when an invoice for a completed order is being created. You will not be allowed to create an invoice for items that are not available in stock. If you wish to place an item on back order for a customer, you must create a new order for the item that will be back ordered and remove it from the order that you wish to invoice.

Items on orders that have not been completed are displayed on the Outstanding Orders administration report. It is recommended that you run this report when you receive a new shipment of goods to see if any of the items you are receiving are currently on back order for a customer.
