This section of the screen shows any accessories that could be sold with this model number.

'Sold' column defines if this particular model/serial number must be delivered to the customer that has been attached to the model/serial number. If it is not sold and it has a customer attached this means that we have allocated the model/serial number to this customer but, we may steal from this customer to give to someone else if we could replenish the model/serial number in time to satisfy the original customer. 'Order' is the reference to the customers orders. 'Customer' is the name attached to this model/serial number. 'Delivery Date' is when the model/serial has been officially setup for delivery. 'Allocated' is the date that the model/serial number was attached to the customer. 'Allocate' column allows a salesperson who has rights to allocate inventory to click on the row and allocated a  particular model/serial number to the current order. Such as the follow graphic shows

This is the screen that appears when you click on the 'Allocate' column. You can enter a price from here or you can move to the 'Points' textbox and enter 25 and the sold amount will change to 25 percent margin. As you type 25 the 'Sold Amount' will change to $1,320.00. The cost of the model/serial number is $990.00

On the top right corner there are two choices. 'ALLOCATE ONLY marked as Not Sold' will allocate without marking the model/serial as sold. 'Use for Pricing ONLY' will not attach your customer to this current order, but will add the model number at the 'Sold Amount'


This section of the screen allows you to see all the open Purchase Orders with the model number you have selected. It shows you the expected date, Back Order Date, and the customer that the model is coming in for. If the 'Cust Order', 'Customer', and 'Sales' is blank then the model is coming in for stock.
