NLA Codes

2B NLA or --To Be NLA'd means the item is not intended to be reordered/continue selling after stock is depleted. UNLESS "T" is the reason code. The system will automatically convert order lines at ENTRY based on the known stock level. If item is 2BNLA and has stock, but another order grabs the stock, the item will show on the order as backordered.
