Hello
I am new to BC
Can someone advise me on the best procedure to post items like tea, stationery, postage, etc.?
I need to post a vendor invoice for the above items, but obviously, these are non-inventory items.
Thanks
Hi,
Others on the forum may have other suggestions but I'd say just post directly to the expense code in this instance as per below:
Hope this helps.

Instead of item, you can use G/L Account to post expenses.
If you do want to create an item master, there is a Type field on the item card where you can change it to non-inventory. When you create transaction with non-inventory item, BC will not record the stock.
Thanks Gavin, I appreciate your reply.
However, when I try to post, I get the following error.
Gen. Prod. Posting Group must have a value in purchase line: Document type = invoice, =1078, Line No. =10000. It cannot be zero or empty.
Is this something you might be able to advise on?
You need to ensure the G/L code you have selected has a "Gen. Prod. Posting Group" selected as per below:
If it doesn't you'll need to populate it and then delete the line and re-add it onto the invoice so its pulled onto the line.
FYI, I wrote this article on why this is needed when using G/L codes

I hope this helps
Hi Gavin
That worked perfectly.
Thank you so much for your help.
Kind Regards
