Raising Purchase Order From Project

CJBeattie

My understanding of projects is that when you raise a purchase order for the project, no transactions hit the project until invoice stage (as standard). But my query is with regards to raising PO’s for a project which are a service item, in an item group service. When you try and invoice the service item (not stocked) it will throw up something like “cannot invoice, stock issue account does not exist for item.....”

I can set one up no problem, but do not understand why there would be a need to have a stock issue account for a non stocked item?? I’ve looked at the stock model group and switched of various settings that seem like they would not require this, but the same problem occurs.

There may be some accounting reason behind this that I am unfamiliar with, but I am just confused as to its purpose, when stock is of no concern.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Regards
