Is there a way to convert a Stock Item to a Non-Stock Item?

I see, it sounds like a great feature but quite limited if you can’t use it with manufacturing or field services. Any chance that in the future it will be updated to be able to work with these modules running? I would love to use this but we currently use FS.


 

Item Conversion isn’t something you enable or disable.  However, if you have some modules where this capability isn’t yet supported such as manufacturing, projects, field services, payroll, time management, this action won’t be available.


Please refer below article. This option is available from 2022 R2

Hi, are you able to help me understand why I do not see these options? We are running 22r2 (Build 22.207.0013 +) and I looked at the link but I do not see which feature I need to enable to make this work. I do not see the new process screen (IN503000), or the new action on the stock or non-stock item.

 

Thank you

Here is the form for reference.

 

I am also in the process of trying to convert Stock items to non-stock. I will keep you posted with my results.

Has anyone tried to use Change Stock Status of Items?


if you change InventoryItem.IsStock value for the stock item to false; it will convert into Non-Stock


2022 R2 has a new screen Change Stock Status of Items however there are some restrictions.  Review the release notes for more details  One of them is….

 

Also 

  • Matrix Items, nonstock and stock kits cannot be converted  

There should be a way to toggle between non-stock and stock on an item.  For many reasons, an item might remain useful to a dealer but change from one to the other.


Hi @john25, I also don’t think that there will be a way to convert. But for transparency it will be better to have a “clean cut” and create new non-stock items. If you have a lot to create, maybe it make sense to use Export- and Import-Scenarios.


Hi @john25  I don’t think conversion feature is available from Stock Item to Non Stock Item.
