Create Non-Inventory Items for Labor, Charges & BOMs

Creating and using Non-Inventory items such as labor, charges, and consumables that aren't tracked within inventory. Create non-inventory classes and categories as well. Use non-inventory items in BOMs and Manufacturing runs.

Table of Contents

Non-Inventory items are products or services defined in the item master for which you don't track on-hand quantities in your inventory and aren't considered an asset on the balance sheet. For example, use this to capture labor costs, processing costs, overhead allocation, consumables such as packing supplies, and other inputs to add to your cost of goods sold.

Currently, you can use non-inventory items within Manufacturing (Runs and BOMs) and plant additives within Cultivation. Later they will be available for B2B and B2C sales.
