Special Order Field, Purchase Line Table
Specifies that the item on this purchase line is a special order item.
The program automatically fills in this field, if the code you enter in the Purchase Code field has been set up as a special order purchasing code.
A special order is an item that is purchased from a vendor for a specific customer. The item is shipped from the vendor to your warehouse and then to your customer.
Note
A purchase order created as a special order for a sales order is automatically linked to the sales order by a reservation. The planning system respects this link as it balances demand and supply. That is, the purchase order (supply) remains linked to the sales order (demand), even if that purchase order could supply another earlier demand.
