Hello All,

I have Following queries;

  1. What if I cleared “Stocked Product” (Not selected this area) check box for a Product Type of Item in Inventory Policy of Item Model Group?

  2. If the Behavior is same Irrespective of Product Type selection (Item / Service) then what if i use Item instead of Service?

You will not have any inventory transactions for the item neither the onhand.

Service will have the inventory transactions though the onhand is not considered.

  1. If you clear the stocked product, that means its inventory will not be maintained both physically and financially. It should be cleared ideally for service items. The items with stocked product unchecked are considered as expense product.

  2. Behavior, as per point 1 depends how you are configuring items. Note that service items can have stocked product check in some special cases. When stocked is checked for service items, those items can be include in master planning, though on hand is not maintained.

It is the flexibility we now have regarding to items. You can configure either way which suits requirement.
