Hi and welcome to the Community, JLongBeam.
I have some insight to provide you regarding your concern about open sales orders.
Right now, taking the sales orders into account isn't available in QuickBooks Desktop. The system can only account to make the On Hand Quantity higher than the Reorder point amount.
For now, sales orders that affect the Reminders list are the one that needs to be print. You can view this by going to the Preferences window and choosing Reminders.
I value what's convenient and works best for your business, so I recommend sending feedback straight to our product developers. The updates we release depends on the suggestions we receive from the users.
I'm adding the steps below on how you send your feedback:
- Click the Help tab at the top menu bar.
- Select Send Feedback Online.
- Click Product Suggestion.
Please don't don't hesitate to reach me here for all of your QuickBooks needs. The Community is always around to for you.
