Features

Commitments

The commitment provides information on contractual obligations that have not yet incurred actual costs.

Funds Commitment

The funds commitment in inventory includes the value of the materials in the sales order stock.

If you are using a valuated sales order stock, the sales order item is not charged with the actual costs of the make-to-order materials until they are withdrawn from inventory and delivered to the customer. This means that when the products are delivered to the customer:

  • The value of the sales order stock is reduced

  • The funds commitment in inventory is reduced

  • The sales order item is debited with the actual costs

Actual Costs
