Managing Non-Inventory Items

To add non-inventory items from the Non-Inventory Items form:

Open the form.
Select Actions > New.
Specify a unique item name.
Specify the item type.
Specify other item properties as needed.

Note: You may enter a non-inventoried item number that is identical to an inventoried item number. However, only the inventoried item number will appear in drop-down menus. If the inventoried item is deleted, then the non-inventoried will then display in drop-down menus.

You can also add non-inventory items on some other forms.

See About Non-Inventory Items.

When you specify a non-inventory item on those forms, use a unique item ID. A message states that the item specified does not exist, and asks if you want to create it as a non-inventory item. Click Yes to create a record for the new item. Then use the Non-Inventory Items form to further define the new item.

You can delete non-inventory items on the Non-Inventory Items form.

Note: You cannot delete a non-inventory item if it is currently associated with purchase orders, estimates, job materials, current materials, or RMAs.
