Welcome to the Community, Lili.
Let me guide you on recording the purchased parts used during a specific repair in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
You can record these material purchases as Non-inventory items, where they're untracked, as these acquisitions are bought only for a specific use and when needed.
Here's how:
- On the left panel of your QBO account, select Sales.
- Choose Product & Services, then click the New tab.
- Pick the Non-inventory section, then fill out the necessary information of your item as needed.
- Mark check the box in the Description section as this item sold to your customer and fill out the necessary details. You can also mark-check the Purchasing Information if you have purchased the item from a vendor.
- Once done, click Save and close.
Furthermore, details on setting up an item in your inventory are available in this article: Set up and track your inventory in QuickBooks Online. You can also find information on how to modify one's inventory.
In addition, you can use reports in QBO to get insights into what items in your inventory sell the most and the status of your inventory. Refer to this article to know how to generate these reports: Use reports to see your sales and inventory status.
