Purchase Orders, et al
Purchase orders, sales orders, and pending invoices are non-posting records. They do nothing to the “books” in other words. You will not see them in any financial statements.
In preferences you can have Sales Orders reduce inventory levels if you wish, there is a toggle there to do it, but that is the only exception. All that does is reserve the inventory on the sales order, makes it appear, key word is “appear” as though the inventory is not there. Though it appears as though it is sold it is not, not until the sales order is turned into an invoice.
The problem with doing it that way is that if you do a physical inventory and compare what is on hand to what the item list says, there will be a difference because the sales orders have reduced inventory, well reduced what appears to be on hand.
