I am new to Sage as we are moving from Excel to sage for BOM and order processing.

Can Sage 50 handle call off orders? Generally we place a lot of call off / draw down / covering orders with suppliers and then place subsequent orders for quantities thereof. How can I produce an order through Sage 50 so that the full amount of the order is seen by the supplier but not actually processed by Sage. I'm seeking a situation where only when the call off order is placed is that amount processed.

Many thanks

The order is for the full amount as you request and you receive part of that amount until all is delivered.
You use "amend delivery" to deliver the amount received.
Then use update ledgers to update the ledgers when the invoices for the part received arrive.

This keeps track of the amount on order, the amount recd and the amount paid for.

The requests to draw down are against the existing purchase order they are not purchase orders in themselves. Sage has no mechanism to generate requests to draw down, however you could raise a dummy purchase order to make the paperwork and delete/cancel it after printing.

Hi Bruce

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will follow your advice.
