Nonstock items must be created before any nonstock processing can take place. You can create nonstock items manually or by importing them from a vendor catalog.
Open the 
Nonstock Item Card card.
Press F3 to insert a new card.
In the Manufacturer Code
field, click the AssistButton 
and select the manufacturer of
the item.
In the Vendor No. field,
click the AssistButton and select the vendor for the
item.
Key in the Vendor Item No.
Key in a Description of the item.
Click the AssistButton and select a Unit of Measure, usually PCS.
Move to the Invoicing tab.
Key in the vendor's advertised price for the item in the Published Cost field.
In the Negotiated Cost field, key in the price you have agreed to pay for the item.
Use the Unit Price field for the price you will charge for the item.
Key in the Gross Weight (includes packaging) and Net Weight.
Key in the Bar Code, if applicable.
In the Item Category Code field, click
the AssistButton and choose the category to be
used for posting transactions using the nonstock item. This is
mandatory if the nonstock item is to be converted to a stocked
item.
In the Product Group Code field, click the
AssistButton and select the appropriate
code.
Now that the nonstock item card has been created, when the item is selected on a sales order, the system automatically creates an item card, as this item, at that point, becomes a saleable item. As an alternative, you can create the item card by clicking the Function button, Create Item. Irrespective of how the item card is created for a nonstock item, the field Created From Nonstock will be checked.
In some situations, you may want to import an entire vendor's catalog. To import a comma-delimited file, you can use the Import Nonstock Items dataport.
