Currently creating a draught sales order for the customer, but once racked it would be great to ringfence pre-ordered or pre-allocated stock.

Thanks Tom, I can see that this would be really useful 👍 We’ve some changes coming soon (expected late Q1) which although not directly intended for this, might well help solve this.

I’ll share more when we’re closer to having them ready and we can look at how they’ll fit with this and if there’re any tweaks we can do to make it better for this use case.

There’s probably also some overlap with:

> [@Create "On Hold" or "Quarantined" product stage](https://community.breww.com/t/create-on-hold-or-quarantined-product-stage/148):
>
> Hello, We often use a “positive release” system requiring certain checks on a product after it has been packaged but before it is released for sales. It would be really useful to be able to flag a batch (or part of a batch really) as “on hold” and have it removed from the product totals that are available to sales which can then be released and added to the stock levels once the beer has passed QC. There are a number of other situations this functionality would help with: quarantine if there…

If anyone else would find this useful, please vote for this at the top and add any comments 😁

This would be helpful to us too. Here’s our use case:

Today we have the last few cases of a core beer left and we want those only available for retail sales. We’re packaging another batch next week and have a raft of trade orders we want to enter without impacting the availability of the last few cases of the current batch. Basically we want to allocate stock to orders from planned packagings.

As [Create "On Hold" or "Quarantined" product stage](https://community.breww.com/t/create-on-hold-or-quarantined-product-stage/148) is now done and [🏭 All orders & deliveries are now linked to a fulfillment site, allowing for available stock per site to be calculated](https://community.breww.com/t/all-orders-deliveries-are-now-linked-to-a-fulfillment-site-allowing-for-available-stock-per-site-to-be-calculated/1970) was launched yesterday, I think these should cover off their feature request fairly well.

If anything extra is needed relating to pre-order stock reservation, can you please comment on [Improved management of pre-orders and reservations](https://community.breww.com/t/improved-management-of-pre-orders-and-reservations/1565) with more information (and vote for it)? It would be helpful for us to keep all pre-order based suggestions on that one thread.

Thank you, everyone 👍
