<p class="Help-Text">Either service and non-inventory items can be used to sell or charge for non-merchandise services and fees, such as for tailoring, repairs, gift-wrapping, recycling fees, and delivery charges. The on-hand quantity of both these item types is always zero (0).</p>
<p class="Help-Text">Non-inventory items are also sometimes used for incidental merchandise items for which you do not wish to track quantities. <!-- <a href="qbpos:helppopup.21982">Example<img
