Ship noninventory items with warehouse documents

Completed

Sales and purchase orders often have various types of things on their lines. For example, they might have general ledger items, accounts, and fixed assets. For configurations where you handle physical goods in warehouse documents, such as inventory put-aways, warehouse receipts, inventory picks, or warehouse shipments, you can also post some types of noninventory items.

You can use the following functions:

  • Post all noninventory lines on the source document as soon as at least one item is posted by the warehouse document.

  • Post noninventory lines of the source document linked to the item through the Attached to Line No. function when the item is posted by a warehouse document.

To start using this feature in the inbound warehouse flow, fill in the Auto Post Non-Invt. via Whse. field on the Sales & Receivables Setup page.

When you combine inventory items and noninventory items on a sales order, you can have Business Central post the shipment of the noninventory items when you ship the inventory items from the warehouse.

The process of shipping noninventory items is similar to receiving noninventory items. You can find a demonstration video in the following unit: Receive noninventory items with warehouse documents.
