Unposted Inventory

If you have created new inventory while preparing a customer order or invoice, those items are considered unposted items and need to be edited.  (see Edit Unposted Inventory Items)

Order List Options - Update

Whenever you open the Order List, you will be prompted to update the Order List.

OrderListOptions

Select an Order List Option

Update Current List [F2] - The items on the list will be retained and additions made as necessary.  This is a safe method for making the list current because you will not lose items which were manually entered.
Delete Old, Generate New [F3] - The items on the list will be erased and an entirely new list will be generated.  WARNING: You will lose any items added manually to the list.
Delete Entire List [F4] - The items on the list will be erased.  You can manually add items to the list without being distracted by other items to be ordered.
Create List For One Vendor [F5] - This will allow you to compile a list of items needed from one particular vendor.  All items needing to be ordered which this vendor carries will be added to the list even if the item has a different vendor assigned as the primary vendor.
Leave As Is [F10] - Makes no changes to the current list.

The Build Order List option under Actions on the left allows you to access this Options screen again as needed.
