Issue allocated stock

This activity releases stock items allocated for internal use or for a customer where there will be no charge made for the items.

Issuing allocated stock uses the same rules enforced when goods are recorded out of the Stock Control module. In addition to these rules, allocations can be part issued but you cannot exceed the allocated quantity.

For internal allocations, when there is insufficient stock the allocation can still be recorded regardless of the negative stock setting, this may result in a negative free stock level. An item's negative stock level setting is only enforced as Sage 200 processes require the item to be allocated for sale, issued or despatched.

Issuing allocated stock for a batch/serial numbered item requires additional tasks. These items are referred to as traceable items and the activity to issue them is described separately to that for other stock items referred to as non traceable.
