Re: Need to get non-inventoried items on bills of material... Any ideas?

Mark, 

If you set them up as uncontrolled floor stock, at zero cost, they will 
have no impact on your inventory or the orders.  We have a similar 
situation, and that's how we handle them.  We also gave them special 
planner numbers so they don't affect normal MRP Planning reports.

Mapics will not allow non-inventoried items on a bill of material - they
must have an inventory code of 1.
We have several expense type items that we have set up as item type 9 
(user
defined) with an inventory code of 2 (misc.). We don't want these items
affecting inventory but we do need them in bills of material. Any ideas on
how we can attempt this?

TIA
