Service, Other Charge, and Non-Inventory Part items
These sales
income items began as XE "service
items" XE "other charge
items" XE "non-inventory
part" essentially identical types, but
have diverged with time. They are used
for:
Things you buy and consume
Things you create and sell
Things you buy and sell.
Other Charge
items can be edited to become Service
or Non-Inventory Part
items, but those types can’t be changed. When an
Other Charge
item is edited, the item type list can be dropped for selection.
Time tracking (QuickBooks Pro) runs on
Service items (and only on
Service items.)
The example shows a pass-through item, containing a check in
This item is...
and having two descriptions, two accounts, and two prices.
Preferred vendor
XE "vendor:preferred" is a default.
As a pass-through item, this is almost like two items. It has two descriptions, two opposing accounts, and two
prices. One of each is used for the purchase, and one for the sale.
