Place non inventory item on Purchase Order

Hi Donna, a non-inventory item means that no inventory is applicable for this item, therefore it cannot be ordered. Items like this are for example tickets, hours, etc. Change this item into a standard item and it will be ok.

I believe that a non-inventory item could be any item that you aren't tracking inventory for. Just because the business doesn't need to track inventory for an item, there is no reason to think that this non-inventory item doesn't need to be placed on a purchase order. I feel the behavior described by Donna is indeed a flaw in the software and it should be addressed by Microsoft.

Here is an examples of what I'm talking about.

Our store is > Hi Donna,

Here's me take: Noninventory items you're not directly tracking the inventory. If you notice on any noninventory item the supplier tab is grayed out meaning RMS doesn't recognize that part of the query. Hence, that is why the message Donna got comes through.

The logic behind the supplier tag being grayed out I believe is because in most businesses a noninventory item is bought through several companies with similar pricing structures.

For instance, we sell pencils and all our pencils are noninventory so when I want to order them I have to hand do a purchase order through another means.

I agree RMS should consider allowing the noninventory items to be added to purchase orders.
