Hello, Noverhead.
We can edit your item type (non-inventory to inventory) and associate its pre-existing value, so QuickBooks manage the COGS transfer automatically during the Invoicing process. I'll guide you through the process below.
You can easily change an item's type from non-inventory to inventory in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). However, please know that this action is irreversible. Once you've converted your non-inventory item to inventory, you're unable to change its type again.
Moreover, while you're in the Edit Item page, enter the 100 units value in the Total Value field to associate your non-inventory item's pre-existing value. Whenever you're ready to edit your item, here's how:
- Go to Lists, and select Item List (for Windows) or Items (for Mac).
- Double-click the item you want to change.
- Select Type, then choose the new item type (Inventory).
- A pop-up window will appear that the action is irreversible. Click OK to confirm.
- Go to the Inventory Information section and input the 100 units value in the Total Value field.
- Click OK.
To know more about the process above, please see this article: Add, edit, and delete items in QuickBooks Desktop (Edit items section).
Once you're done, associate the item to your invoice and manage its quantity accordingly.
Additionally, you can use categories to keep your items organized and get helpful insights when running reports in QBDT. If you want to know more about this process, check out this article: Use item categories in QuickBooks Desktop.
