With this functionality a PO can be designated a special order and associated with a guest. The report used with this functionality, the Special Orders Report, is available from ReportManager > Reports > Inventory Reports and from SysManager > Activities > Inventory Activities.

There are two ways to designate a PO as a special order, through Sales and SysManager or solely through SysManager. Using Sales and SysManager is probably the best method because it allows for taking a deposit or full payment.
