What does Non-nettable setting effect? From: Randy Morrison Date: 12 Jun 2000

The best way to explain "Non-Nettable" is to use the example of MRB, (Material Review Board). Inventory placed in a non-nettable location cannot be Issued to a Job, (including backflushing), nor can it be shipped out on a customer order. Yet it WILL retain it's visability and Value on Symix reports. Since it cannot be shipped, you will NOT find it on an "Available to Ship" report but you Will see it on any Inventory report that contains the location within it's select criteria. Usually, the only way inventory moves OUT of a Non-Nettable location is via a "move" transaction, though there are a few others like Physical Inventory. Other places with the effect of being Non-nettable are: Time Phased Inventory Status (it's not avail inventory) MRP (it's not available inventory) Material Availability Report (again, not available inventory)

In conclusion, Non-Nettable is normally used for "Questionable" material that may or may not be usable and is awaiting a decision. Many people use a "Receiving Inspection" location that is non-nettable if they can withstand the impact that occurs to MRP. Others use non-net as an MRB location for processing Customer Returns and/or defective goods.

I have seen several "creative" uses for using non-nettable on things like Finished Goods out at trade shows, etc. Most companies that are relying heavily on MRP though, tend to use non-nettable sparingly and under strict guidelines.
