Place non inventory item on Purchase Order Donna 06-25-2005

Does anyone know why I can not get an item type, non-inventory, added on a
purchase order. I do not have the box checked in the options tab of the item
master, "May not be placed on purchase order" nor do I have this check in the
store configuration. When I tried to place the item on the purchase order, I
get a message something like "Non inventory item can not be placed on
purchase order". However, if I try to put the same item on a purchase order
of a different supplier than the supplier listed in the item master, it
allows the item to go on the purchase order. STRANGE!!!!!!!!!

Hi Donna,
a non-inventory item means that no inventory is applicable for this item,
therefore it cannot be ordered. Items like this are for example tickets,
hours, etc. Change this item into a standard item and it will be ok.

I believe that a non-inventory item could be any item that you aren't
tracking inventory for. Just because the business doesn't need to track
inventory for an item, there is no reason to think that this non-inventory
item doesn't need to be placed on a purchase order. I feel the behavior
described by Donna is indeed a flaw in the software and it should be
addressed by Microsoft.

Here is an examples of what I'm talking about.

Our store is in California. When we buy or sell certain beverages here we
need to pay or collect the California Redemption Value (CRV) on these
beverages' containers. The easiest way we have found to charge the CRV at
the register is to set it up as a tag along item for the beverage in
question. We would prefer to have this CRV item be a non-inventory item, but
if we set it up as such, we cannot add the CRV item to our purchase orders
which would cause the purchase order totals to be inaccurate.

Hi James,
ok, I understand your problem, but I don't agree the solution is here. You
want to fix a workaround, instead of solving the real issue. I do agree that
the software should be able to handle fees better.
Regards

Here's me take:
Noninventory items you're not directly tracking the inventory. If you
notice on any noninventory item the supplier tab is grayed out meaning RMS
doesn't recognize that part of the query. Hence, that is why the message
Donna got comes through.

The logic behind the supplier tag being grayed out I believe is because in
most businesses a noninventory item is bought through several companies with
similar pricing structures.

For instance, we sell pencils and all our pencils are noninventory so when I
want to order them I have to hand do a purchase order through another means.

I agree RMS should consider allowing the noninventory items to be added to
purchase orders.
