=Non inventory item in quickbookWhat's the difference between inventory and non-inventory parts? =

Inventory parts are items that you buy and then stock for a while before selling. QuickBooks tracks the quantity on hand, the current inventory value, and the average cost of your inventory items. It also tracks some accounting information like "cost of goods sold" for inventory items that you have sold. Non-inventory parts are items that you purchase (usually on behalf of a specific customer) and then immediately sell or install, or items that you sell without ever buying. For non-inventory parts, QuickBooks will only track how much you have spent or taken in. Some people use non-inventory parts even for items that they stock because they prefer a simpler approach—even though it gives them less information.

Why would I use a non-inventory item in QuickBooks?. Answer: The reason to use Non-Inventory vs. Inventory might include: 1. You don’t “warehouse” or store the goods, your vendor drop ships directly to your customer 2. You don’t sale on a invoice the “item” that is purchased. For example, your business refills ink cartridges, you don’t’ sell the container of ink you purchase but you do sell the newly filled ink cartridge. (This may qualify for assemblies and using multiple units of measure) 3. the most important one, your true “inventory” value, good that you hold in your possession are minimal in value and you do not want to have to track inventory 4. You want to keep track of the “item” you paid for in your item history and you want to track a preferred vendor. For accounting purposes the main difference is this: Inventory is tracked as an Asset on the Balance Sheet, The cost of the inventory items are not recorded until they are sold on a customer sales form. Non-Inventory Items are tracked as a current cost (Cost of Goods Sold) and affect the Profit & Loss statement when they are purchased. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0); display: block; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
