Reserve Invoice, reserve items and what about the batch's?

Question

Hi Guys, i have a problem that i can't solve in 2005A, we know that we can't make Reserve Invoices at this version (no object), i haven't found the way to make obligatory the batch id selection in the lines of this document at standard way, but the reserve invoice compromises the existence of the items, how do they do it in items that manages batch's?
I don't know if we manage batch here different that another countries, we understand batch as a package for example, we sell from that package until it's over and comes the new package, then our problem is we make a reserve invoice and it "compromises" the existence of the items but not their batch's? if comes another person and but from the same package, when they'll make the delivery 15 days later, they see that the batch is over,
I don't know if i wrote this well, sorry about my english, hope somebody can help us with this, because we really need to reserve the batch as well too but we haven't found the way,
Please, everyone can write anything to help us, a better solution, a best practice, because i haven't found sometingh published in this forum, don't know if i have to write to somebody in sap so they can help us,
Thank you all,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
It sounds like you need hard allocation so you can allocate specific items to a customer. Hard allocation can't be done in standard SBO so you'd need to find an addon that provides this functionality (or write your own addon).
You could try asking your question on the application forum here:
SAP Business One Application
They should be able to suggest an appropriate addon that fits your needs. If you are a SAP Partner then you could also search on the P2P site for addons.
Kind Regards,
