Specifies that the item on the sales line is a special-order item. The field is automatically filled if the code that you enter in the Purchasing Code field has been set up as a special order purchasing code.
A special order is an item that is purchased from the vendor specifically for the customer. The item is shipped from the vendor to your warehouse, and then to your customer.
A purchase order created as a special order for a sales order is respected by the planning system as it balances demand and supply. That is, the purchase order (supply) remains linked to the sales order (demand), even if that purchase order could supply another earlier demand. For more information, see Design Details: Reservation, Order Tracking, and Action Messaging.

| You cannot use the special order functionality if the item is already reserved. Therefore, for items that are sold on special orders, make sure the Reserve field on the item card is not set to Always. |
