You can of scan or type the name of a non-inventory item just as you can a stock item, and it will appear in the detail grid of the transaction. Some businesses use a binder with bar code stickers for the various non-inventory items they sell, such as delivery, freight, and other non-tangible charges.

To include an existing non-inventory item, type the item name into the Item field, scan the Non-Inventory Code, or press ALT+F1 in the Item field to open the Non-Inventory Lookup and select an item.

If you sell prepaid services, it might be helpful to include the Term Start and Term Expiration fields in your entry layout. These fields allow you to define the term for the prepaid service. If you don’t include these fields, the term will be the current date plus the amount of time in the term you defined in the Non-Inventory Code. You can change these dates in the AR Customers window.

If you use a touch screen monitor in Point of Sale, tap the non-inventory item button in the button panel at the bottom of the Register window. To add quantity for the non-inventory item, you can use the quantity buttons before you select the item or you can tap the item multiple times.

Continue to enter the transaction as you would any other.
