About Non-Inventory Items

A non-inventory item is a product that is purchased, sold, or used, but is not tracked. These items are managed on the Non-Inventory Items form, and may be used on many other forms.

General Ledger Accounts

The general ledger account used for these items is defined in the Sales Non-Inventory field, on the Accounts Receivable Parameters form.

Customer order lines containing non-inventory items default to the account specified in the Sales Non-Inventory field.
Purchase order lines containing non-inventory items default to the vendor purchasing account, if specified. If no purchasing account is specified for the vendor, the Accounts Payable Purchasing Account is used.
