Item types
Item types determine whether you get items from stock or from a vendor.
Item types refer to the category of an item. There are four item types: Inventory, Non-stock, Special Order, and Service. Typically, Inventory items come from stock. Non-stock, Special Order. Service items usually come from a vendor. The item type is determined in the Inventory Control item master and location record at the From location. These are the rules:
- An item is an Inventory item when the inventory tracking flag is Yes in the item location file.
- An item is a Non-stock item when there is only an item master record for the item, or the inventory tracking field is No. The inventory tracking field is in the item location file.
- If no item master or item location record exists for the item, then the item is either a Special item or Service item.
