Aaron,
A non-balancing item has Item Type = 6 in your Item Master.
"Non-balancing" or "non-inventory" items are items where the inventory is not tracked. They can be included on a BOM, have a cost associated to them, and issued to an order, but the transactions do not affect inventory.
As such, MRP will not try to replenish these items.
For example, you could use this for components that are continually replenished, like city water or steam; nuts & bolts parts that are managed visually; or parts that are completely vendor-managed.

Thread-Topic: Non-balancing Item in BPCS Order Maintenance screen (ORD700D2-01)
Hi everyone:
We receive a warning message that says: "Line 002: Non-balancing item cannot be ordered from Warehouse Type =5."
We've tried looking in ORD700D2 for what causes this, but are having trouble locating the cause. This occurs every now-and-then and requires the user to through each line (even if there are hundreds), in order to continue.
Does anyone know what is usually meant by "non-balancing item"? We know what our Warehouse Type 5 is, but are not quite sure what a non-balancing item is.
Any help in the right direction in solving this is greatly appreciated.
Have a great day!
