Allow Shipment against Non-Stock items

An item that cannot be stocked or that is not associated with a warehouse is considered as a non-stock item. Examples of non-stock items include office supplies and services.

To distinguish cost items of the type non-stock from normal purchase items, you must select the Non-stock check box on the Part Maintenance page. This check box is selected by default for the non-stock parts received in the Item Master BOD from an integrated ERP.

You can allow or prevent the shipment of these non-stock cost items using the Allow Shipment against Non-stock items check box on the Customer Profiles page. If this check box is selected, non-stock items can be allowed for shipment and the non-stock part lines are displayed on the Create Shipper page. If this check box is cleared, the non-stock cost items are displayed in blue color on the Purchase Order page.
