Overview
The Sales of goods from stock scenario covers processes related to the sale of goods from a warehouse. The goods are typically purchased (trading goods) or already produced by own serial production in accordance with the make-to-stock model. A very important process in the scenario is goods availability check that you can do during sales order processing. This way you can track goods available in stock and goods that are expected to be delivered under confirmed purchase orders or released production orders/stages. The backorder process helps to tackle the stock-out cases and find out current reservations under other types of orders. The sales process can be rearranged. To speed it up, the scenario can be simplified and several sequenced processes can be performed as a single process. The scenario duration depends on industry-specific or company-specific requirements. Different types of goods can cause different lead times between order processing and final fulfillment of sales.
