See Entering a sales order for a linear cut BOD kit product.

Note: Orders created by an external process cannot be maintained to add a linear cut lot product.

Select Sales > Entry > Order.
Create or maintain an order.
In Advanced Line Entry, specify a linear cut lot product.
Specify the product length required by the customer in the Quantity field.
Optionally, if you are allocating lots for the required cuts in Sales Order Entry, use these steps:
1. Click Lots, and then specify the lot numbers and cuts that will be allocated to fill the order. Use one of these methods to select lot numbers:
  - Click Auto Assign, and then specify the Cut Length of product to be assigned.
  - Select the lot from the Lot Entry grid, and then specify the quantity. Optionally, select an existing cut piece from the Dimensional Cuts grid.
  - Click Oldest to assign the oldest lot number to the product. Split across lots? is displayed. For linear cut lot products, whether you click Yes or No, if the oldest lot does not contain enough product to cover the quantity needed, then the next oldest lot that can cover the entire quantity shipped is used. You must allocate one piece that is at least as long as the length required on the line. You cannot select two or more smaller pieces to add up to the length needed.
2. Click Save when the Quantity to Allocate is 0.
Note: You can also assign lots and cuts to an order in Sales Linear Cut Maintenance Entry rather than Sales Order Entry to avoid reserving the entire lot quantity.
Click Add to add the line to the order.
If cut containers are set up in Product Setup-Cut and Product Warehouse Product Setup and associated with the cut product in Product Extended Cut Container Setup, the suggested containers are displayed on the Cut Containers window.

The container with the best match based on order quantity and container capacity is noted with a green check mark. To view all containers associated with the cut product, regardless of the calculated capacity requirements, click Show All Containers Regardless of Capacity. Select the desired container and click Submit.
