Inventory and Order Management: Default Purchasing Source for Non-Stock Items

In MYOB Acumatica 2026.1.1, you can assign a default purchasing source to any non-stock item. If your team regularly resells non-stock items, such as software licenses, you no longer need to manually select their purchase source in each sales order line—the system will insert each item’s purchasing source automatically.

Specifying the Purchase Source for Non-Stock Items

You can specify the default purchase source for a non-stock item in the new Source for Sales Order box (shown below) on the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form.

The selected source also determines whether the system selects the Mark for PO check box when you add the item to a sales order line on the Sales Orders (SO301000) form. The following table shows how each Source for Sales Order option affects the settings of a new sales order line.

Specifying the Purchase Source at the Template Item Level

The Source for Sales Order box has also been added to the Template Items (IN203000) form. The box is available only for template items of matrix non-stock items—that is, template items for which the Stock Item check box is cleared. The selected option determines the default purchase source for new and updated matrix items.

If needed, you can exclude this setting from being used when the matrix items are created or updated. Do the following:

1. On the Update Settings tab, add a row to the Fields Excluded from Update table.
2. In the Table Name column, select Inventory Item.
3. In the Field Name column, select Source for Sales Order.
4. Make sure that the unlabeled check box is selected in the row.
