NS Line
You can enter purchase order line details when the purchase order header is entered and saved. You can enter details into the line item form or into the table.
Options Reference
Each option and field on the form is described below. Mandatory options and fields are highlighted in red.
Non-Stock Line Items
Non-stock lines are commonly created to add a specific cost that is related to the purchase of other items on the order, such as delivery costs, insurance, and the like. When a receipt transaction is generated for the line, the general ledger account of the non-stock code is debited by the line value.
You can add a non-stock line for any non-stock code previously defined on the AP Non-Stock Purchase Code Maintenance form.
Note: You can
enter a negative value for NS lines to reflect a discount or price reduction
that applies to the entire order. These lines post using the receipt and
invoicing processes to standard general ledger accounts in reverse of
how a positive value would post.
The receipt or invoiced value of all other lines in the order is unaffected
there is no pro-rate logic for negative price lines.
