Allow Repeat Order Templates to Allocate stock where stock quantities are negative

Allow Repeat Order Templates to Allocate stock where 'allow negative stock' and 'Can over allocate negative stock' is selected on the product group.

Even when Auto Allocate is selected this does not happen.

You take orders for a fresh product you buy in at the end of each day to full fill that days orders. Allow negative stock enables the sales orders to be allocated/dispatched and invoiced - a PO then generated for the Negative stock qty for the day - that is delivered by the supplier prior to today's orders being delivered in the morning.

How do you solve for this problem today? for each order raised from a template - either the order has to be edited and each line amended to add in the allocated qty - or use the edit allocations and edit the allocated qty.

    How many orders are generated every day ? How many lines per order (on average?) We have a sage 200 add-on for SOP repeat templates which can post process the generated order to allocate (if negative stock is enabled on the product group of the item on the SOP line).

    The Sage 200 repeat order template processing and production has had a number of issues over many years.
