Purchase Requisition, Non-catalog items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

I’m new to Dynamics AX so my questions might be childish but I really need to know the following.

When we create a purchase requisition, we can add non-catalog items. What I want to know about is:

  1. Where are non-catalog items stored? In a centralized location OR within a PR itself?
  2. If a PR is deleted, the non-catalog items (defined in that particular PR) will be lost?
  3. Can we re-use/reference a non-catalog item, defined in a PR, in another PR?
  4. Can we re-use/reference a non-catalog item, defined in a PR, in another module? For example Product Information management, Inventory management etc.?

Thanks!

    Hi Muhammad,

    Non-catalog items should only be used for consumption as far as I know. I don't understand why you would need to use a non-catalog item in another module, because that would imply that the item would be recurrent, and in that case, why not simply attach it to a procurement category ? :)

    Regards,

    1. Non catalog items does not have a master. All the transactions are done on the basis of the procurement category and the inventory postings are done on the basis of item groups attached to the procurement category.

    2. Yes, there are no transactions for the non-catalog items.

    3. The transactions are done on the basis of procurement category so no need to reference as you can create another PR for the same procurement category.

    4. This question is not clear.

    Hope it helps.
