Creating Nonstock Products From a Purchase Order

The system allows authorized users to create nonstock products on the fly from a purchase order. If you receive stock in an order from a vender that is not included among your product inventory, you can create a nonstock product record from the purchase order.

To create a nonstock product from a purchase order:

From the Purch menu, select Purchase Order Entry to display the Purchase Order Entry Body screen.
In the Ship From field, enter the purchase order number of the order in which the nonstock product was received.
On a blank line, enter the quantity of the nonstock product you received in the Qty field.
Tab to the Description field and use the Nonstock hot key to display the Nonstock Entry screen.
In the Search field, type New.

If a list displays, press Esc to display a blank entry screen.

In the Mfr's Code Description field, enter the product's code, if any, and full description.

For example, the description can include the manufacturer name, the part number, and any other identifying information for the product.

Provide additional information about the nonstock product, as described in the field description table in Adding Nonstock Products to Sales Orders.
In the DFLT-LIST field, enter the wholesale cost of the item.

In the DFLT-COST field, enter the retail cost of the item.
Press Esc to save the product and populate the purchase order.
