Guys and gals,
Matt has moved on to bigger and better opportunities. I'm not sure if he can respond in the same timeliness that he did in the past.
I talked with Pat on this subject. At this point, we don't have a direct solution to this issue. Though it is on the roadmap of things to do, it will require real-world research before we start writing the code.
I understand the issue of keeping an RO open (fill rate) and building fake SORs. The SOR isn't a bad idea because you can see that detail in function I/PRO.
What about creating a single (internal) counter invoice called held parts? Use comment or part description to explain who or what for each part on the invoice.
When you need to sell the part, zero the sale of the counter invoice and re-sell it on the customer's invoice.
I undertstand it's a 2 step process, but it would solve a couple issues.
1. It would be easy to track all the 'held' parts.
2. It doesn't get caught up in the SOR files.
3. It doesn't weaken the RO fill rate formula
