Non-Stocked Maintenance

You use this program to create and maintain the codes that will be used for non-stocked items within quotations and estimates.

These are commonly used in make-to-order or engineer-to-order environments.

The Quotation Non-Stocked Codes listview displays details of currently defined non-stocked codes used in quotations and estimates.

Toolbar and menu

Field Description
Non-stocked code

Indicate the code to use for the non-stocked item.

A non-stocked code is an inventory item that you do not stock in any of your warehouses.

Within SYSPRO you enter non-stocked codes in the Quotations module to uniquely identify items that can be used within a quotation or estimate.

If you selected the Auto link in the Quotations Lines pane of the Quotation Entry program, then the non-stocked code is automatically set as the Prefix entered in the Quotation Header pane plus the quotation line number.

EC VAT details  
Tariff This field is only enabled if EC VAT is installed.

The tariff code identifies the goods that are the subject of a dispatch or arrival and is the basis for most of the statistical information used by government departments, the European Commission, United Nation's agencies and businesses themselves.

This field is the most important one printed on the Supplementary Declaration for Dispatches report.

Supplementary units

You use this field to indicate whether supplementary units are required for the tariff code.

A number of tariff codes require the declaration of a supplementary unit, for example the number of pieces, litres or cubic metres. Generally, a supplementary unit is required when it is a more appropriate measure of particular goods than the net mass and allows a greater degree of comparison and analysis.

This field is only enabled if EC VAT is installed.

This field is printed on the Supplementary Declaration for Dispatches report.

Bought out Details

This pane enables you to enter the details for an item with a Part category of Bought out.

Field Description
Method of costing  
Unit cost Select this to use a fixed cost per unit.
Purchase prices

Select this to use the prices entered using the Quotation Non-Stocked Purchase Prices program.

This allows the costs to be dynamically calculated according to the number of units required. This is especially useful when your supplier allows quantity discounts according to the number of items bought.

Unit cost Indicate the fixed cost of the item per unit of measure (e.g. the cost per dozen).
Lead time (days) Indicate the number of days it takes to buy the item.
Buyer Indicate the buyer who purchases the item. A valid buyer code must be entered.
Buyer name This indicates the name of the buyer you selected.
Supplier Indicate the supplier from whom you buy the item.
Supplier name This indicates the name of the supplier you selected.
Status  
Purchase price available Select this to make price available for use immediately when pricing a non-stocked item for a quotation.

If you do not select this option, then the prices are considered to be under review and are not available for use when pricing the non-stocked item in a quotation.

This is useful if you want to enter the new prices before they are needed. For example you could enter the new prices before month-end, but set the status to under review. This will prevent them from being used before the new month. At the beginning of the new month, you can then set the status to available for use.

This is useful if you want to enter the new prices before they are needed. For example you could enter the new prices before month-end, but set the status to under review.
