RE: PO's

[Jeff Snyder <jgsnyder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The short answer is you need an item number. You can setup as non-inv.
via INV code in item master. 2, or 3. Also you can set as y, n on
receipt required in PO c-record.

However, For Non-Inventoried purchases, MRO items. you should think about
setting up 'generic' items specific enough to help facilitate the
following:

 G/L acct assignment during a/p entry ( assuming 3-way  PO matching)

 Type of item , i.e. service, Utilities or commodity

  Is a receipt required, again for communicating to receiving and
   a/p matching.

 Before deciding on a structure, you really need to consider the whole
procurement cycle, not just PO entry. from demand, to po entry, receiving
and A/P entry.

good luck.

let me know if i can help more
