How to Remove a Required Product from the Purchase Order Queue by Using the Suppress Option in Sales Orders

Suppressing the Reservation

To suppress the reservation of an item, access the relevant sales order. From there, click on the Reservations & Allocations button at the top of the screen. From the drop down menu, select the Reservations & Allocations for this order only.

In the next screen, check the boxes against the items you would like to suppress the reservation for and then click on the suppress button as illustrated below. 

A pop up window will appear asking if you are sure you want to change the suppression status of the reservations, click yes. The following messages will then appear to confirm that the reservation has been suppressed. 

N.B. If a stock item has been allocated to the item you will have to remove this allocation before suppressing the reservation. Also if the product has been marked as delivered you will not be able to unallocate the item and therefore you will be unable to suppress the reservation. 

The symbol in the stock column indicates that the items have been successfully suppressed and are not required for this order.  This will remove them from the products required work stacks, stock to order widget and required products view in purchase orders.

 

To reverse the suppression, simply check the boxes against the applicable products and click on unsuppress.

Before you can remove an item from a sales order, please suppress the stock reservation first to ensure that the items isn't inadvertently ordered.

N.B. To finish the removal from the order you will have to remove the reservation and then delete the item from the order.
