Update Last Sale / Purchase Dates with Assembly Build

On the Stock record you have the option to record a last transaction date, a last sale date and a last purchase date. When building Stock Assemblies – either in Stock Control or via Bill of Materials – the system will update the last transaction date but not the last sales or purchase date.

If using the last sale date to monitor demand for stock items, then if a stock item is used exclusively as a component and not used for sales to customer then the last sale date isn’t updated. Similarly, if using the last purchase date to monitor stock then assembly items wouldn’t have a last purchase date. This new, optional, feature allows a parameter option to allow assembly builds to update the last sale/purchase dates.
