In the course of business anything that your company buys, sells and resells such as products, shipping and handling charges, discounts and sales tax (if applicable) is known as items. It shows up as a line on an invoice or other sales forms.

Follow the steps to add an item as you need it.

Without leaving the Invoice or any sales form you can create an item. When you get the prompt asking if you want to set up the item, you just need to enter the name of an item and select Yes (for Windows) or Set Up (for Mac).

Follow the steps below to create multiple inventory or service items.

  • Select Add/Edit Multiple List Entries from the Lists menu
  • Choose the Item type (Service Items, Inventory Parts, Non-Inventory Parts, Inventory Assemblies) from the List drop-down that you want to add.
