During implementation and testing, we discovered that the new Manage Sales Allocations screen is not compatible / not properly functional when Sales Order Approvals are required.
With Sales Orders approvals are required, only lines from On Hold sales orders show up in Manage Sales Allocations, despite no order type filters being used on Manage Sales Allocations. This is not acceptable, as unallocated lines from Open status sales orders are not showing and will be bypassed by the Manage Sales Allocations processing.
This was reported on an Acumatica support case - and I was told this functionality is “by design. I understand technically why it is not working; as when using Require Approvals, orders must be put on hold in order to make any changes.
I feel that inventory allocations should be allowed to be modified on Open Orders, even if approvals are required. Does anyone else have opinions that allocating to approved open orders should be expected?
Thank you.
