Team,
Our client wants to use Nonstock Items in PO & SO without creating the Item & Nonstock Item Master. the scenario is like this:
In PO or SO, Item No, Description, Qty and rate is to be entered (ex. ITEM001, Desktop Computer, 10 and $2000). We don't want to maintain any inventory and master for this but need to print these information in the orders. I have seen this possible in other ERPs but don't about NAV. Please let me know if it is possible or need any workaround.
Thanks
Hari

You can use Charge(item) to replicate the item.
Change the type line to item charge create your item id and then add your qty and cost, this will work in either PO or SO.
There is plenty of f1 help to help you decide if this meets your needs.
Have a look at resources and GL as options as well.
or what we do is we setup an item
NSI - Non stock item, standard cost is zero.
so when we enter it on a sales order or purchase order, we change the description and enter the appropriate cost on the PO, or Sales price on the Sales order, this books everything correctly from an accounting stand point.
since it is standard cost of zero, any amount on a PO, is posted straight to an expense account, which is what should happen to a non inventory item.
When I use Charge (Item), am not able to post the document and getting the mesage like "You must assign all item charges, if you invoice everything". Is there any setup to avoid this message?
I don't find type 'Resource' in Purchase Order but Sales Order has. If I use type GL, I cannot enter the Item number.
Nope you cannot enter an item number for type GL it is a GL account, that is the point, you post it direct to a ledger account - like a non-stock item transaction.
if you want to pick an item number why not adopt the suggestion made by "themave" and setup a generic non stock item as an item and use this?
