Inventory Control

Non Inventory Product Defaults

Purpose

This function is used to set the defaults to be used when creating ‘Non-Inventory Products’ on the fly via Sales Order Entry. The system-wide defaults can be defined by Product Group. Optionally they can be defined by Product Group and Stock Location for defaults specific to a given Branch.

When creating a ‘Non-Inventory’ item in Sales Order Entry, enter the Product Group of the Product being created and these default settings will be used accordingly. A new Product will be created using the defaults found for the entered Product Group/Stock Location or if no location specific defaults are found, just for that Product Group entered.

This input is optional. If you have different requirements for ‘Non-Inventory Products‘ by Stock Location (for example a different prefix for the Product code) then enter a Location here. The Location must be previously established.
