Nonstock items must be created before any nonstock processing can take place. You can create nonstock items manually or by importing them from a vendor catalog.

To manually create a nonstock item

  1. In the Search box, enter Nonstock Items, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Manufacturer Code field, select the manufacturer of the item.

  3. In the Vendor No. field, select the vendor for the item.

  4. Enter the Vendor Item No.

  5. Enter a Description of the item.

  6. In the Unit of Measure field, select a value, for example, PCS.

  7. On the Invoicing FastTab, enter the vendor's advertised price for the item in the Published Cost field.

  8. In the Negotiated Cost field, enter the price you have agreed to pay for the item.

  9. In the Unit Price field, enter the price you will charge for the item.

  10. Enter the Gross Weight, including packaging, and Net Weight.

  11. Enter the Bar Code, if applicable.

  12. In the Item Category Code field, choose the category you want to use for posting transactions using the nonstock item. This is required if the nonstock item is to be converted to a stocked item.

  13. In the Product Group Code field, select the appropriate code.

To create an item from a nonstock item

  • After you have created a nonstock item card, an item card is created when this is selected on a sales order. At this point, the item becomes a saleable item.

  • As an alternative, you can create the item from the nonstock item card. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Create Item, and then choose the OK button.

    Regardless of how the item card is created for a nonstock item, the Created from Nonstock field is selected.
