Converting a nonstock product to an OAN nonstock

You can move a nonstock item into inventory as an order-as-needed - nonstock (OAN-NS) using Product Adjust Non-stock/Direct Order Entry. This creates a record for this product in Product Setup and Product Warehouse Product Setup. If an inventory record already exists, the status is changed to OAN-NS.

Note: You must have the correct security to change a product's status to Order-as-needed - Nonstock. Verify the Allow Chg/Copy of ICSW Status for OAN-NS setting in SA Operator Setup-Entry Options is Yes.
  1. Select Product > Entry > Adjust Non-stock/Direct Order.
  2. Verify that the Non Stock type and Active status options are selected.
  3. Specify search criteria. At a minimum, you must specify a warehouse. Click Search.
  4. Select the products you want to convert. Check the Avail Qty column to ensure that the products have quantities available to move into inventory.
  5. If you selected a single product, click Inventory. If you selected multiple product, click Mass Update.
  6. Click OK to open a journal.
  7. In the Non Stock Inventory Defaults window, select Order as Needed-Non Stk in the Status field. Specify the vendor and product line if they are blank. Click OK.
  8. If you are converting a single product, specify the quantity to move to inventory as an OAN-nonstock in the Qty field as a negative amount. Optionally, specify a bin location. Click OK.

    If you are converting multiple products, optionally specify a unit of measure and a bin location. Click OK.
