We are testing out how to setup our VMI parts and other consumables, which we have determined that non-quantity bearing is the way to go so that they still show up on the BOM/Traveler and pick lists.

Epicor help states that non-quantity bearing parts can still be sold. However, because they are non-quantity bearing they will not show up in Fulfillment workbench. Our warehouse uses the fulfillment workbench to determine which parts orders they need to process.

If non-quantity bearing parts (understandably) do not appear in fulfillment workbench, how is our warehouse to know when to pick/ship these items when they are ordered, especially if they are ever the only thing on the order?

This may not be what you want to hear but we use a custom “Due to Ship” report to prompt our shipping department to pick and ship orders.  It could certainly include non-quantity bearing part numbers if you desire.
