Maintaining Non-Inventory Shippers
You can ship memo (non-inventory) items to customer/supplier/site without GL cost and inventory balance updates. However, taxes related to inventory movement need to be recorded in related GL accounts.
You first use Non-inventory Shipper Maintenance (3.15.3) to create draft shippers for non-inventory items and then perform shipper confirm and, optionally, legal document creation.
When Apply Tax on Issuing Transactions is Yes, you must enter Global Tax Management (GTM) data on the shipper header and lines. You then review and edit shipper lines with tax data if needed. Confirming the shipper does not create GL transactions for taxes.
You can use Non-Inventory Shipper Maintenance (3.15.3) to modify unconfirmed shippers, but not inventory shippers.
You cannot use Non-Inventory Shipper Maintenance (3.15.3) to create or modify other inventory shipper transactions such as those created by unplanned issues.
You can also use this function with items whose memo order type is blank in the item master record. In this case, the memo type defaults to M and no inventory transactions occur.
Moving memo items creates a special transaction type, ISS-NSO.
Transaction history with standard ISS-UNP transaction type will be created, but there will be no inventory update or no GL cost update.
When Apply Tax on Issuing Transactions is Yes, the Item Data frame contains the following fields:
Type
Defaults from item master. Editable, but cannot be blank.
Taxable
Specify whether the line is taxable. If Yes, the system displays the Global Tax Management screen and calculates taxes.
Tax Class
Specify the tax class of the line if tax is applied.
Debit Account
Specify the account in which to debit the tax amount.
Comment
Specify whether to enter comments.
Use the following steps to maintain non-inventory shippers:
1 Use Non-Inventory Shipper Maintenance (3.15.3) to create a shipper, or to modify an existing unconfirmed non-inventory shipper.
2 Confirm the shipper (3.15.1).
3 Optionally, create a legal document.
4 Post taxes to the related GL accounts
5 You can use Unconfirm Shipper (3.15.2) to unconfirm a non-inventory shipper. This reverses related taxes and changes the shipper status from confirmed to unconfirmed. This also cancels any previously generated legal documents.
Note: You can modify fiscal data during legal document creation.
