Hello Acumatica Community,
Hope all is well. Has anyone had any luck receiving in non-stock items that require receipt through WMS? I’m using Receive and Put Away. I get that non-stock items are not tracked in inventory and there is no inventory controls but the receiving part should still be allowed to tell the AP department to bill for the item being received in.
Thank you

Hi
This is on the Product Roadmap for Acumatica WMS.

Please note that that receiving non-stock items using 'Receive and put away' screen, unfortunately, is not supported by the current functionality.
Thus, the correct way to receive non-stock items is to create PO receipt on the Purchase receipt screen (PO302000), or use 'Enter PO Receipt' button on Purchase order screen (PO301000).
That is unfortunate to hear. Workflow wise the guys in the warehouse are going to try to scan the non-stock item to be received when it arrives at the dock. They will not have access to the Purchase Receipt screen in Acumatica. So even though the item is not tracked in inventory they still need to receive the item for billing purposes. If they don’t have access to the Purchase Receipt screen, they are stuck without a way to enter in the received quantity of non-stock item. Having to leave WMS, go inside the office and tell management to receive in the item (since the manager can access the PO Receipt screen) is bit clunky for their workflow from an operation standpoint. Even if the guys in the warehouse could get into the PO Receipt screen it's still not an ideal workflow.
Are there any plans to add this functionality in the future?
