# Booking Orders

### **What are Booking Orders?**

Booking Orders are created when the **required quantity in a sales order exceeds the currently available stock**. Instead of rejecting the order, the system transfers it to the **Booking Orders list** to be processed later once stock becomes available.

- Under **Booking Orders**, you can select either **Distribution Order** or **Used Order**.
- Once selected, the related booking orders will be displayed.
- You can locate a specific order by: 
    - - **Searching** with the **Order Number**
        - **Filtering** by **Warehouse**
- **Click on Review.**
    - - If the product is **not available**, the order moves into **Booking Allocation**.
        - In **Booking Allocation**, you can manually enter how many units should be allocated to the booking.
        - Once stock is replenished and allocated, the order can be moved to the next process.
