Sage 100

Does anyone know how SO-1099 selects orders for picking? Specifically, does it require proposed orders to picked in a specific sequence that would optimize use of the inventory? For example, would it (logically) allocate product to an order that could be filled at 99% complete before selecting an order that could be filled at 90%? The idea being that you wouldn't want to allocate product to an order that could have been used to fill another more completely.

Don't know if it logically goes most to least complete - but it does look as if you can select to fill based on a user entered percent complete. Starts talking about this at the bottom of page 6

I read that before posting and reviewed comments on it in the community. It doesn't address this issue and its a BIG one. By selecting the sequence of orders in a decending sequence by fill percentage - not only does this better utilize inventory, but there are fewer back orders and happier customers. This is an important issue to distributors that have issues keeping adequate inventories across their lines. I'm asking because I developed an application that does this and prospects are trying to compare it to SO-1099.

The biggest problem now with those Extended Solutions is I don't think anyone at Sage really knows what they do. If there's something that is a bug I shudder to think how long it potentially might take to be corrected...

I am not sure why it isn't in our catalog to be developed. I'll ask them.
