Removing an item from inventory and making it non-stock

I am needing some instructions on how to properly inactivate a stock item (IC12 record) and make it non-stock. The problem that we see is that once you change the item to "I" for inactive, then the requesters cannot order it and receive a message in RQC that says, "This item is inactive at your current From Location." I can resolve this by activating it again, but when I turn off Allow Receipts on the IC12 record, then the requester receives a message that says, "Error-PO cannot be created, allow receipts = N." Not all requesters for this location use templates. Is it not possible to completely inactivate a stock location from an item? It appears that the system holds onto that record.

Thanks!

You do need to stop the reorder until the stock on hand goes away - we usually just flip the flag from auto reorder to No. Once the stock is gone, IC12 should let you change inventory tracking to N(No) then whatever orders through it will generate a req as item type N and order from the vendor.

How do you stop the demand?

You don't? It's how the stock on hand gets depleted. Once it's gone, it's gone if there's still demand, we kill the backorders on WH25, flip to non-stock and tell the users that they must reorder as non-stock.

Depending on what it is and how many you have SOH - it's likely easier to pick a heavy user department, issue it all out to them in IC21, change the flag in IC12 to Inventory Track N. But at some point, you have to decide to stop.

We do the same as Kat.

Issue remaining SOH to heavier use departments.
Change Bin Tracking flag to N and clear Preferred Bin field.
Change Inventory Tracking flag to N.
Change Allow Issues flag to N.

Optional: Clear fields on Reorder tab. Doesn't hurt to leave the reorder point, max order qty, etc. but I prefer a clean IC12.
