Correcting previous Item Types

Steel123 · ‎July 08, 2021

Our company starting using Purchase Orders earlier this year. Originally, the Item Type used for the few items were set up as "Inventory Parts". We've been informed by our CPA that this is the incorrect way to report. We should have been using "Non Inventory Parts". The problem is that we've created hundreds of PO's that now need to be changed from Inventory Parts to Non Inventory Parts. Is there any way to have Quickbooks do this? Or, do we have to go into each PO and change them manually? Also, would we need to change the item type in the invoicing and the bills?

I got you, Steel123.

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), the items that were set up as Inventory cannot be changed to a Non-inventory items. You can only change it to an Inventory Assembly-type item. Please see attached an image below for your reference:

Instead, you’ll want to copy the detail of the item and create a new one. For the old item, you can either make it inactive or delete it. Here's an article for your reference on managing your items: Add, edit, and delete items.
