<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Style templates are particularly effective for soft goods retailers (clothing, shoes, etc.) where item lines tend to have common sizes, colors, or other attributes.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">When applying a template to a style, if the applied template contains sizes or attributes you do not want to include in the particular style, you need not define items for those cells (i.e. dont enter a quantity or zero). An inventory row (item) will be created only for those attribute combinations (cells) in which you enter a quantity.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">For some merchandise, attributes vary from style to style and from season to season. In this case, you typically wont know what attributes you need until you are actually ordering the items. Here it is often easier to define a template with a single attribute, such as sizes, only along one axis of the template. This gives you the flexibility you need to add other specific attributes, such as color for each style independently as you add it, while still avoiding repeated manual entry of your commonly used sizes.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">If you modify an individual style grid in inventory that has a template applied, the original template is not affected.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">If you add an item to inventory while creating a document, such as a sales receipt, it is strongly recommended that you enter the average unit cost, if known.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Adding a new item without entering a cost, and then immediately selling the item, will result in a discrepancy in your QuickBooks inventory value, since no cost of goods can be posted for the sale. In this case, a compensating adjustment will have to be made in your financial software.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">One way to handle this is to conduct periodic physical inventories and then make an aggregate adjustment in your QuickBooks financial software. This helps keep your inventory value accurate, especially if you regularly make sales of items without defined costs.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">An <font class="hcp1">assembly item</font> is an item that is itself composed of two or more other inventory items and sold as a set. For example, a "Ski Slope Package" could be defined as an assembly item made up of a pair of skis, bindings, and boots, all of which already exist in your inventory as individual items. Assembly items are often used to sell a set of items at a discount.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">You "build" assembly items from the existing items in inventory, which are referred to as the <font class="hcp1">component items</font>. An assembly item can also be a component item of another assembly. When you build an assembly, the on-hand quantity of each component item is reduced by the quantity of the item included in the assembly and the on-hand quantity of the assembly item is increased by one. The number of assemblies you can build is dependent on the on-hand quantity of the component items. Assemblies can also be broken, thus freeing the component items to be sold individually again.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">The assembled item has a single associated tax code; the entire assembly is taxed or not based on this code. Use judgement and observe local tax regulations if mixing taxable and non-taxable items in an assembly. Consider listing a non-taxable component as a separate service or non-inventory item on the receipt or use a group item instead. You can even include an assembly item in a group item.</p>
<p class="Help-Text"><a href="inven_assembly_vs_group.htm">How does an assembly item differ from a group item?</a></p>
<p class="Help-Text">Once an assembly is defined and built, it can be listed on documents in the same manner as other items. Sales reports include assembly items as unique items and do not report on the component items that are included. Keep reporting needs in mind when you assign a department, vendor, and descriptions to your assembly items.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">(Multi-store) Only Headquarters can define <a href="inven431.htm">assembly items</a>, but remote stores can build and break assemblies as necessary to meet local sales demand.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">Service items are defined in inventory and typically are used to list non-merchandise and labor charges on sales orders, work orders, or sales receipts to complete a job. Use normal <a href="inven402.htm">new item</a> procedures to define service items in inventory, selecting the <span class="hcp1">S</span><font class="hcp2">ervice</font> item type.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Use the following guidelines when defining service items in inventory.</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">You cannot enter an on-hand quantity for a service item. Service items always have a zero on-hand quantity, since they are non-merchandise items.</p>

<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">To charge for labor, enter a description of the labor in the <span class="hcp1">Item Name</span> field and a price equal to what you charge per hour (or per job). If you charge by the hour, you can charge for partial hours by listing the service item on a document and entering a <a href="inven_qty_decimals.htm">decimal quantity</a>, e.g., 0.5, 2.75, etc. Point of Sale will calculate the correct labor charge.</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Generally, service items have no cost, but there may be exceptions, such as when you outsource the work and pay the third party a fee for the service. Make an entry in the item <font class="hcp2">Avg Unit</font> <font class="hcp2">Cost</font> field if this is the case.</p>

<p class="Help-Text" style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">The use of multiple units of measure allows you to purchase and sell an item in up to four different units (sizes, or pack quantities). For example, you might buy a canned item by the case but sell it by both the case and individual can. You can define a separate UPC, alternate lookup, sales price, and default purchase-by and sell-by units in inventory and Point of Sale will automatically suggest the correct unit on documents.</p>
<p class="Help-Info-Line">To define multiple units of measure in inventory:</p>
<ol class="hcp1">

</ol>
<p class="Help-Indent">It is strongly recommended you make the smallest unit in which you buy or sell the item the base unit. This helps avoid fractional calculations. Other information entered on the main item form (UPC, price and cost, quantities, etc.) should be for your base unit.</p>

For example, if a purchase order has a discount totaling $50.00 and you receive only half (calculated by value, not unit count) of the ordered items on a voucher, then $25.00 of the discount is applied to that voucher. The remaining discount amount will be carried to subsequent vouchers that receive the remaining due items.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">When a receiving voucher references a purchase order with a fee entered, you are alerted and can transfer the fee to the voucher at your discretion. This is because fees may not be not related to the value of ordered/received items, and may need to be applied differently if a partial shipment is received. Transferring a fee to vouchers that reference the purchase order is at your discretion.</p>

<p class="Help-Text">When merchants need to restock or add new merchandise, they create and send temporary documents called purchase orders (POs) to vendors. A PO typically includes the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">The vendors name</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Order, shipping, and cancel dates</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">A list of the items ordered, including description, order cost, and quantity ordered</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">The total cost of the order, including applicable discounts and fees</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">Optionally, terms of payment and payment due date (for tracking purposes)</p>
</li>
<li class="p-Help-Bulleted" style="margin-left: -20px;">
<p class="Help-Bulleted">A summary of the PO fill status (what has been received and what has not)</p>

<p class="Help-Bulleted">Ship To and Bill To stores</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="Help-Text">The merchandise ordered on a PO is added to inventory when its arrival is recorded on a <a href="../qbpos_receiving/vouch752.htm">receiving voucher</a>. When a PO has been filled, it can safely be deleted. The receiving voucher(s) that reference the PO provide the permanent record of the item purchased.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Purchase orders are not shared between Point of Sale and your QuickBooks Desktop financial software. Since they are planning documents, they have no effect on inventory valuation.</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Remote stores can generate POs only for <a href="../qbpos_customer_orders/custorder_specialorder.htm">special order</a> items. Regular POs are created only by Headquarters and are sent to each remote store for merchandise destined for their store. The remote store can reference those POs to create receiving vouchers. <a href="../qbpos_multi_store/multi_store_purchasing.htm">Learn More</a>.</p>

<p class="Help-Note"><font style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</font> If you have defined Reorder Points for your inventory items, you can easily view a list of the items whose on-hand quantities are at or below the reorder point on the <a href="../qbpos_inventory/inven_reminder_reorder.htm">Reminders</a> window.
