Entering a catalog product on an order
Catalog products are not physically in your warehouse, but you maintain a record of the product in Product Catalog Setup. Usage is not calculated for catalog products.
Depending on your operator security and the catalog record, you can add a catalog product to an order as a nonstock product. You can also convert the catalog product into an inventory product before you add it to the order. To covert a catalog product, it must eligible for conversion, and it must be set up with a valid product line. If you convert a catalog product, then records are created in Product Setup and Product Warehouse Product Setup.
