2. Non-stocks
Non-stocks are items we do not stock normally – they do not have PID’s in the system.
If we do not stock the item but the customer wants it, we enter it as a “non-stock”

Each major stock section in the Counter Book has a non-stock section that follows
To find these sections, enter a ? on the Product ID line and hit enter to use the Counter Book search to find the correct non-stock section

4. How to use Non-stocks

7. Re-using Non-stock item
If a non-stock came in for a customer order that is NOT a direct and was either never invoiced to the original customer OR returned by the original customer, you can re-use this number to resell the product.
BUT, there are certain guidelines you must follow.

8. Re-using Non-stock item if Order has not been invoiced
If the order with the non-stock was NOT invoiced and has been voided, you can simply reuse the nonstock.

9. Re-using Non-stock item if Order HAS been invoiced
A credit must be issued and invoiced against the original order with the non-stock.
A new order must be entered using a NEW non-stock item (generated by system /XXX). Then change the non-stock item to the original non-stock /XXX number through order maintenance.

10. Direct Sales non-stock: Adjusting Non-stock inventory
If you need to resell an non-stock item that was on a direct sales order, then your Ops Manager will need to adjust that product onto a NEW non-stock code (generated by your sales order).
