Re: [WebERP-developers] Is it a right constraint for sales order?

[Phil D. <ph...@lo...>]

Just to add to this - the only place I can think of where there is a 
distinction between raw materials and finished goods is used is for the 
selection of items for sales. So this flag on the stock categories is 
really only used for this purpose. If you have stock that is expected to 
be sold in its current form then best to make this a finished goods 
category. I accept there may be rare occassions where a raw material may 
wish to be sold - and that is why I am recommending a checkbox on the 
item search form. As icedlava notes you can always enter any item code 
into the quick entry screen to sell it - but as Klaus notes this is not 
obvious and possibly not even documented.
