How are non-stock materials characterized in GFEBS?

Non-stock materials in GFEBS are characterized by quantities that are not recorded in the material master. This means these items are typically not held in inventory for operational use or tracking like stock materials would be. Instead, they may be used for specific purposes where they are consumed upon request and are not intended for replenishment or ongoing tracking within the typical inventory management processes. This approach allows organizations to account for items that do not require the same level of tracking as stock materials, making it easier to manage resources that do not sit in storage.

Non-stock materials can often include items like office supplies or maintenance kits that are consumed and reordered based on demand rather than maintained as stock, differentiating them from items actively tracked as inventory or stored in the material master.
