Hi All,

In our bills of materials, we would like to start putting things like labour, so it can be tracked. There of course isn't really any 'stock' of labour.

If I make a part number for labour, put it in a BOM, and make it a non-stock item, will Adagio still track how many units of it get processed?

Thanks!

Hi, Acrylon,

Sorry but Non-stock items cannot be used in this way as they use UserDefined Costing which is not permitted in BOMs.

OK - I'll admit that I first read this topic as "Non-stick items" ;).

Why not make labour a stock item and receive a whole bunch of them - or just let the inventory level go negative?

Further to Andrew's suggestion,

-- Make a category in IC for Labour "ZZZ"
-- Make the Stock Nunber "ZZLABOUR"

Then you can easily exclude this "dummy" item from reports by selecting the ending part of the range.

As always, your sage advice has solved the problem!
