Special Order is a flag on the parts setup - 'If enabled, this part can only be direct expensed to a work order or RMA and cannot be added anywhere else.'
When this flag is enabled, Managely hides this part from the add parts selector in every place except a direct expense receipt, bill, RMA, purchase order, or proposal/sales package.
This flag can only be set when creating a new part, either from the parts setup or from the part selector for the following modules: proposal, sales package, bill, or receipt with Direct Expense turned on. For the receipt module, if the Direct Expense flag is switched off, any special order parts that were already added to its parts list will be removed.
Special order parts are not intended to be stocked in a warehouse. To prevent special order parts from being added to inventory, special order parts will not appear on the show all parts list when selecting a warehouse.
