Related Information
When Creating and Picking Orders RTP line items will have STOCK ALLOCATED AUTOMATICALLY.
In some cases, stock may need to be reserved for other orders yet to be processed. In this case, WMS needs to be forced to create a BackOrder for stock items even though enough stock is available for the current orders entered in the system.
