If you are authorized, you can create nonstock products and add them to orders. The system retains the nonstock product record in case another customer requests the same item.
To add a nonstock product to a sales order:
In the Qty/Unit field, enter the amount of the requested nonstock product.
Do one of the following things:
If... |
Then... |
you know the nonstock item has a record |
enter a keyword or part of the description to display either the record or the Product Primary Index list. Select the product and press Enter to add it to the order. Do not proceed to the next step. Note: Press F9 to add or change keywords. If after several keyword searches you do not find a nonstock product that meets your needs, press F12 and return to step 2. |
you are unsure if the nonstock item has a record |
continue with the next step. |
Use the NonStk/Lot hot key to display the NonStock Entry screen and search for a nonstock entry item for the order.
The order information populates for your review before applying to the order. The DFLT-LIST and the DFLT-COST (REP-COST) display at the bottom of the screen.
In the Search field, enter a brief description of the non-stock product to do one of the following:
If... |
Then... |
only one product matches your description |
the system returns the item to the Sales Order Entry Body screen. |
multiple products match your description |
select the correct product and press Enter to return the item to the Sales Order Entry Body screen. |
no product matches your description |
return to step 5 until you have exhausted all probable keywords for the item. If you do not find a matching item, create a new nonstock product record. |
Continue entering products and process the order as usual.
