I guess the question is –
Do you need to track these items for warranty, serial number, lot, Â etc?
1.) If you don’t - create a generic part number and change the description and ship it from inventory. Â
2.) If you want to track it by Customer and part number – in Order Entry – enter the part number – use Order job wizard - create a job. You will have to go into the job and release it since it will not have a method. This will allow you to ship from a job without the part being in  part maintenance.
3.) If you have to track this job by serial, lot etc, you should enter the part into part maintenance.
We use the Make Direct option for older product that we still have in the Bone Yard or Davy Jones’ Locker.

I think I understand what you are saying if you actually manufacture the product. These are things that are just lying around in our warehouse or were bought at some point in the past though. If I have Make Direct checked then the shipping module wants a manufacturing job # which we won't have. If I mark it as Buy To Order the shipping module wants a PO linked to the release. We don't have a PO for any of these items.

You can sell it directly without it being in the part-master. You can’t make it to stock though so you either must buy-direct, or make-direct. We do this all the time for one of our product lines (custom machined parts).

Subject: [Vantage] Sale of one time only parts
How are people handling the sales of one time only parts? Are you creating a new part every time, creating one generic part, or just entering the one time only part on the line in the SO?
We have a bunch of things the company sells that have been laying around for years and will never be sold again. I tried just adding it to the line in the SO but that caused the shipping module to say it's coming from manufacturing and it wants a job # and we don't/won't have one.
Is it really necessary to create a new part master file for one part that will never be sold again every time we sell something like this?
