what is a pending build? 

When processing a work order, it goes through different stages in the production process. A status indicates that the work order is ready to be executed, but there are reasons why inventory might be held instead of being immediately allocated upon creation of the work order. At this stage, the work order is in a Pending status. Here are some of the ways Order Time implements pending builds and the benefits this option provides to users.

Pending builds are features available in QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise but absent in Pro or Online versions. However, regardless of your QuickBooks version, Order Time Inventory provides a robust solution for managing pending builds. A work order in Order Time signifies the initiation of processing raw materials and components into finished goods, with quantities recorded and allocated based on current inventory levels. The flexibility offered by Order Time allows seamless customization to adapt to your unique workflow needs.

In Order Time you have the freedom to allocate from stock as needed. Once a work order is created the only thing that changes is the intended usage amount based on availability.
