Use of non-inventory items on jobs as WIP

You can make use of non-inventory items by purchasing onto a job via the A/P module, and posting the expense into WIP.

These items can be processed as a non-inventory related expense that will form part of WIP until such time that the item(s) are invoiced or written off.

You will need to populate the fields on the A/P document correctly for the cost to automatically flow through to the WIP warehouse, for both inventory and non-inventory items. Make sure that the following fields are set:

1. Project code = project code of job you are wanting to link to 
2. Warehouse = Eralis Job WIP warehouse 
3. Subjob ID = valid sub-job ID related to project set in 1 

If the document is an A/P Invoice, the system will then post the following journals:

Standard B1 Journal
Dr Expense
Cr A/P Control

Eralis Job Journal
Dr WIP
Cr Expense

If you were processing a GRPO, then the transactions would be:

Standard B1 Journal
None

Eralis Job Journal
Dr WIP
Cr Expense

The system does not support service type documents, but non-inventory items can be used.

Please refer to the Generic item codes article for other uses of non-inventory item codes.
