Service Items: Configuration Prerequisites

Before you start configuring a service item, you must be sure that the system has been configured properly and that all required entities have been created, as described in the following sections.

Enabling the Needed Features

To be able to process sales and purchase orders that include non-stock items, you need to enable the Inventory and Order Management feature on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. If you want to configure the processing of sales and purchases orders that include non-stock items with shipments and PO receipts, you should also enable the Inventory feature. If the Inventory feature is not enabled, you can process sales and purchases only directly, by using AR invoices and AP bills rather than sales orders and purchase orders.

Configuring the System

You need to make sure the following tasks have been performed in MYOB Acumatica before you begin creating non-stock items:

• The performing of the minimum system configuration. For details, see Company Without Branches: General Information.
• Note:

  While the U100 dataset you are going to use to configure a non-stock item has predefined posting classes, in a production environment you can configure a non-stock item without posting classes.
• On the Tax Categories (TX205500) form, the definition of the necessary tax categories, which you will assign to the new non-stock item.
