Non Inventory Code used to sell Inventory item

Dec 14, 2009 5 Replies

Hi All,



We have a situation where we need to sell Gas fills in RMS. When the Gas tanks are filled, an inventory code is used to goods recieve the litres of gas purchased. We then have non inventory codes that are used at the point of sale to sell different sized gas bottle fills. Is there a way to set it up so that when a gas fill non inventory code is used, it reduces the inventory code by a certain amount? We need this to be set up through Headquarters Manager and then sent to 13 stores.



Any help would be appreciated



Thanks

By definition the non-inventory item is something you don't have to keep stock of, labor for example. So if you make an item a non-inventory item there will be no stock control of that item, it just keeps track of when you sell the item. Craig

Maybe you could do this as a parent child setup

Lets say you have gas as the parent item with a SKU of 123

then you create a child items pointing to the item 123 and set the child items as the QTY you create from one unit of the gas, say item 321 is a half litre of has so it would be setup as a qty 2 for the child so if you sold 3 of item 321 it would pull 4 half litres from the parent item leaving one half litre in stock.

Keep in mind if you do it that way it won't be a non-inventory item Craig

I would think you could set it up as a kit or an assembly also. I would imagine that you want to keep track of your inventory, so I agree that setting it up as a non-inventory item may not be the best idea.

If item 999 is 1 litre and it is how you order/receive the gas, then item

888 could be a kit with component 999 and quantity 2 at price whatever. Then when you sell 1 of item 888 you deplete item 999 by 2 and you charge whatever you want. Your inventory would be correct (which is key) and the pricing of item 999 is unaffected.
