Is there some way we could have other stock types besides those that are in the drop-down list?

So far we have:
Stock - regular items
Nonstock - not really sure that to use this for actually
Department SKU - (same as above)
Freight - really nice so you can add that 'item' to your PO
Gift Card - (obvious use)
Rental - (obvious use)
Store Credit-Issued at POS - haven't tried this one yet

What I need is something similar to Freight except I need 'Discount' because some of our vendors give us a discount amount that they take off our order or if we are issued a credit for something we RMA'd, the vendor will take that amount off our next order. Traditionally (i.e. with our old software) there was a place to put in fees (dollar amount), discount (dollar amount), freight (dollar amount) and all of this would add up in our Receiving document to be the same with our vendor's invoice.

Any suggestions?

The quick answer is no. A few things though:

1. More detailed information about stock types can be found at http://www.retailedge.com/phpBB/viewtop ... 660&p=2041
2. You might want to either just leave an item on an existing PO for an RMA or create an RMA PO for the vendor with the item on it with a negative quantity. You can then negatively receive the PO and this will track the return to the vendor.
3. If you want your PO to actually match the vendor's invoice then you could add some non stock items to it (negatives for discounts or positives for fees). If you are trying to have a particular discount on a PO, you always have the discount PO function that will discount the costs of the items for that PO only. So you track your cost of goods a little more accurately.

Hope that helps. Let us know if you have more questions about how this would work.

I created an "item" called 'freight' that I use to cover the shipping cost from the vendor's invoice - and that seems to be working OK. I read the other post you referenced, but I was wondering if I can make an "item" and call it 'discount' and... then would I use a negative number for it? I can set up an "item" for fees (cost changes and has no retail price) that would hopefully behave the same as my freight "item" does. (Have I got it right?)

Still happy I switched from QBPOS!
