[kunal_ingale · Accepted solution]

hi

the term itself explains

i means this item will not be stored ,as it come in plant it get consumed or issued to the dept

Non-stock material includes materials that are not managed on an inventory basis (for example, small parts such as nails) though physically in stock. Non-stock materials are managed in the SAP System using the key NLAG.

Hi,

When you procure Non-stock items, you have assign an account assignment category like cost centre K in the PO , it is manadatory. So the when you do goods receipt for the PO , stock will be posted to consumption account and not to your warehouse and no stock is maintained.

Hi shaik,

Non-stock materials are not held in stock because they are consumed immediately.

Hi, if it is non-stock items, do we need to do MIGO? should we do MIRO without MIGO?

[Former Member]

Both are Possible.

If you need an GRN Entry then you need to Select the GR Tick in PO Item Detail - Delivery Tab.

(GRN is reference Doc that we have received material, If you want accounting entries at GRN Remove GR Non-Valuated Tick in Delivery Tab Item Detail)

If you want directly Miro you have to Untick the GR in PO.

(usually consumables are not taken into stock, we can skip GR. But that is not Best Practice)

You Can based on Client Requirement.

Now client will decide.

I'm a bit confused about the real example of non-valuated stock material and office supply, what is the real example of non-valuated stock?

[Former Member]

Small Parts like - Stapler Pins, Screws, Threads, Nails, Chocolates,  Etc......

Hi,

Some materials like office supplies are procured directly for consumption, for example For Office supplies cost centers. These materials are not stored in storage location and hence there is no relevance to inventory management.

In SAP, non stock materials can be with or without material master record. These materials are procured directly for the account assignment object like cost center, Asset, etc.

Hi

Non-stock material is material that is not held in stock because it is consumed immediately. (Office supplies such as stationary. You need to create purchase order and accounting document for payment but the stock balance is always zero as it is issued out immediately to the various department.)
