Hello to all and we hope all is safe!
I purchased labels to be put on product I buy from one of our vendor for private labeling and sent them to my vendor to add the labels onto our products. I have added the labels into our system, but since they are not an inventory item (at least I didn't make them that way) how can I keep track of them when vendor sends them out to our customers? Do I add them on as a Subitem of ? If not could you please explain where and how to keep track of them so I know when it is time to order more labels plus it goes against money being spent for these labels.

Hi Michael77,
You can add the total cost of labels when purchasing the product. Then, enter them as an inventory item with zero price and cost. Let me walk you through with the steps.
To add the total cost of labels:
Once done, edit labels to an inventory item. Please follow the steps below:
You'll also be able to use the reorder feature to keep track of labels.
Here's an article to give you more information about inventory in QuickBooks: Advanced Inventory.

Thank you, Mary, But I guess I should have said we have been using QB since 2008. I know how to do that what you said, but what I am looking for is this.
I have had labels printed (of course paid for them and the shipping to our vendor) and having one of our vendors add them onto the products we buy from them so it is private labeling for us. I would like to know how do I put the labels into QB as an expense towards each product were buying and reselling plus also keep track of the 200 labels for each product so we know when to reorder labels and apply that cost towards that product? I know the labels aren't much money, but still that takes away from our bottom line for each product.
