Non Stock Item

Topic: Products/Services > Working with Items

Overview

Non-Stock Items (sometimes called Non-inventoried Items) are Items that you do not stock. For example, a plumber may buy a certain kind of sink to fit into a bathroom, but the company does not actually stock sinks.

If you sell products but don't actually want to keep track of how many you have at a particular time, then you can use a Non-Stock Item.

Non-Stock Item Key Facts

•	The Item Code (sometimes called the Product Code) and Description are mandatory fields. These will appear on the Transactional Document (e.g. a Sales Invoice) when the associated Line Item is selected.

•	The Item Code has to be unique. You will get an error on saving the Item if it is not.

•	You enter the default sale price on the Sales/Prices tab. You enter the default purchase cost on the Purchasing/Costs tab. These prices/cost will automatically appear on sales/Purchase documents respectively when the associated Line Item is added.

•	You can specify cross/up-sell information in the 'Cross/Up-sell Information' tab. If you enter information here corresponding Line Items will display a icon indicating there is associated information. Clicking on the icon will popup the Item information.

•	Use the Classification tab to specify the Item's associated Categories and Attributes if any.

•	You can use the Images tab to upload images of the Product.
