How to Control the Use of Non-inventoried Items in Dynamics GP Sales and Purchasing: Sheldon Gitzel, consultant for Etelligent Solutions, and Dynamics GP expert, said during consulting experience there have been multiple times when he's helped clients who have had inventory concerns because items weren't set up properly. 

For instance, in one scenario a new item gets entered on a purchase order and is subsequently received as a Non-inventoried item instead of a Sales Inventory item, he said. This scenario could be better controlled by having the Add Item option activated, he adds.

He explains:

"On the Purchase Order Entry window the Options menu includes the Add Item option which can either be activated (checked) or not, as in Figure 1. The default setting in Dynamics GP is to have this option unchecked. When this option is unchecked and an item number is entered that does not exist within the Inventory item list the new item is accepted as a Non-inventoried item, as long as use of Non-inventoried Items is allowed. When the Add Item option is checked and an item number is entered that does not exist within the inventory item list the user is prompted with the question ‘Do you want to add this item?'"

Gitzel explains what to do here.
