Adjusting nonstock product broken ties

Nonstock products are normally tied to a purchase order or warehouse transfer when they are entered on a sales order. This enables control over the nonstock product from order entry through receiving, shipping, and invoicing. When a nonstock product is received, an inventory record set is created in Product Adjust Non-stock/Direct Order Entry. Transactions processed against the nonstock product–including additional receipts, shipments, write-offs, and adjustments–and a running balance is tracked using the inventory record set.

Nonstock product ties to the purchase order, warehouse transfer, kit work order, or Value Add work order that are created to source the product can be broken, or untied. For example, the original order might be canceled after the source document is submitted, or the product might be returned. Review broken ties and take one of these actions to maintain inventory control:

Move the untied quantities into regular inventory as a stocked product
Return the available quantity to your vendor or the original warehouse
Designate them as available to sell from nonstock inventory

Use Product Adjust Non-stock/Direct Order Entry to identify untied nonstock quantities and make the adjustments listed above. ICENH/ICENL sets are reviewed in Product Adjust Non-stock/Direct Order Entry for lines where the quantity ordered is greater than the quantity shipped and there is no purchase order, warehouse transfer, or work order tied to the remaining quantity.

To maintain inventory, perform one of these procedures:
- To move a single nonstock product with available quantities into inventory, see Converting a single nonstock product to a stocked product.
- To move multiple nonstock products with untied, available quantities into inventory, see Converting nonstock product to a stocked product.
- To return the available quantities, note the order number and enter a RM purchase order or return product to the shipping warehouse.
- To convert the nonstock to an order-as-needed nonstock (OAN-NS), which maintains the product in inventory like an OAN, but can be inactivated if there is no sales activity or active transactions, see Converting a nonstock product to and order-as-needed nonstock.
