Thanks for your prompt reply, VanguardAccounting.
You'll encounter this error if the same name/number has been previously entered. Let's make sure to select the Include inactive option to see all the items that has the same name/number.
Before doing so, please make sure to update your QuickBooks to the latest release. Then, follow these steps:
- Go to List < Item List.
- In the Item List window, put a check mark on the Include inactive box located at the bottom.
- Search for the item name/number in the search field.
I've got this sample screenshot for a visual reference:
If there's a duplicate item, you can edit it to change the name/number. The instructions are included in this article: Add, edit, and delete items.
Please let me know how things go after trying this out. I'm here to make sure your concern is resolved. Take care!
Thanks for checking in with us,@VanguardAccounting. I'm here to provide the steps you need to change Inventory item to non-inventory in QuickBooks.
Yes, you can create a new item and categorized it as non-inventory since you only have the option to change it as an Inventory Assembly-type item. To switch and use non-inventory items, duplicate the inventory items as non-inventory items and use the new set going forward. Then make it inactive or delete them.
To get started, we'll need to create a backup file to make sure that the data will be saved before creating a new item. I've got you an article for your reference: Create a Backup of your Company File.
- Open the Item List window.
- Click the Item button in the lower-left corner of the list window.
- Select the New command.
- In the New Item window that opens, select Non-inventory Part from the Type drop-down
- Enter a name for the non-inventory part into the Item Name/Number box.
- Continue adding items until you have a new set of non-inventory items that replicate the inventory items.
- Click the OK button to save it into the Item List.
For more details about this, you can refer to this article in managing your items: Add, edit, and delete items.
Once done, you can delete or make the item inactive. Just right-click and choose the option from there. I’ve attached an image below for your visual reference.
Upon sharing the steps above, I would suggest consulting your accountant. This way, you'll be guided on how to deal with the reconciled transactions that may affect your books.
