Non-Inventory Products

STORIS treats non-inventory products differently than inventory products in many ways.  Generally speaking, STORIS considers non-inventory SKUs as "intangible" and not able to be physically delivered, for example labor or warranty products.

 To identify a product as non-inventory, use the Product Type Code field in the Advanced Vendor Settings.

Flags in STORIS That Affect Non-Inventory Products

Auto Transfers

STORIS does not create auto-transfers for non-inventory items. Because non-inventory items are always in a committed/reserved status, they do not appear on the Report Sales Orders with Delivery Dates in Jeopardy or any other reports that show back-order information.  

As a work-around, you can create a report to list all orders containing selected non-inventory products.  If you setup the report to display the order's stocking location and shipping location, you can list which of the products on the report require a transfer and to which location.  In this way, you can manually create transfers for non-inventory products.
