C. This is the non-inventory part indicator. If you indicate that the part is a non-Inventory part, then you are
basically telling Blackpurl that you do not want to keep track of quantities or average costs etc
If you add the non-inventory part to a Customer Order, it will automatically tell you it is in stock as it does not go through any Special Order VO/VR/VI process etc
D. Quantity in Stock - when you first create a new part, you can enter in the Stock on Hand in this section
**Please note that if you do enter a quantity as Stock on Hand at this point, it will NOT create a stock adjustment journal over to our accounting package.
If you don't enter in a Quantity at this point, you will need to do a Part Stock Adjustment at a later date.
