What’s the difference between Inventory and Non-Inventory Items?
Inventory Items are items that you buy and then stock for a while before selling. Kpi.com Accounts tracks the quantity on hand, the current stock value (transaction value), and the FIFO method to calculate stock valuation. It also tracks some accounting information like “cost of goods sold” for inventory items that you have sold.
Non-inventory items are items that you purchase (usually on behalf of a specific customer) and then immediately sell or install, or items that you sell without ever buying. For non-inventory items, kpi.com Accounts will only track how much you have spent or taken in. Some people use non-inventory items even for items that they stock because they prefer a simpler approach—even though it gives them less information
