Non Inventory Item Posting Account

[HFLo]

where to set the default post account (debit) for receiving of non-inventory
item, with and without purchase order?

I tried to use Posting Accounts>Sales>Non Invenotised Item but it does not
seems to pick up.

Dear HFLo:

You need to set the posting accounts in the Purchasing series for
receiving transactions. However, there is no 'Non-Inventory' posting
account setting in Purchasing as there is in Sales, so the account you
want the non-inventoried item charged to really needs to be selected
when you are setting up the Purchase Order. When you enter the item
in the PO Line field, click on the blue arrow to the right of the Item
lookup button. This opens the Purchasing Item Detail Entry window
where you can specify the account you want the non-inventoried item
debited to.

Hope this helps,

HFLo,
If you put a non-inventoried item on a purchasing receipt, the account
used by default will be the one in Posting Accounts > Purchasing >
Purchases

I figured that out too but just hoping there is 'another' place for setting
non-inventory item.

setting an account in Purchases will affect all vendor trx where is no
default set in vendor purchase account or is there any better way to do it?

thks in advance.

Leave the account blank at Posting Accounts > Purchasing > Purchases
that way the users are forced to enter an account. This of course will
affect all other AP transactions which in some ways is good because it
forces the users to make sure they have the account right on the vendor
card.

Hi,

then (by leaving Posting Accounts > Purchasing > Purchases blank), how
about non-inventory item that I would like to default to an account?

HF, you can't set a default account for a non-inventory item. The
default posting accounts for an inventory item come from the item
card. You could setup your non-inventory purchases as service items
in the item card and assign default accounts to them in the item
card. Current costs but not quantities are tracked on service items
so you wouldn't have to worry about any impact on your inventory
quantities.
