Export Options for Inventory Items

Inventory is managed in one of two ways when SME is syncing with QuickBooks:


· As SME Only Inventory – Items are maintained in SME and inventory Cost of Goods, Inventory Asset, and Sales Income accounts are passed through SMP_Item. (After your initial sync with QuickBooks, you will see SMP_Item in your QuickBooks Item List. Set the income, sales, and COGS account on the SMP_Item)


· As SME and QuickBooks Inventory – inventory items are synced and are maintained in both applications. Invoicing for material in SME decreases stock in QuickBooks. Creating Purchase Orders for material in SME increase stock in QuickBooks. Manually changing stock numbers will have to be done in both SME using Inventory Quantity Reconciliation and also in QuickBooks.

Default Export for New Inventory – Check here if you are tracking inventory items in SME and QuickBooks. New Inventory items added in SME will be exported to QuickBooks.

As Inventory Item – Check here if you chose to export new inventory items to QuickBooks. If not checked, the item will export to QuickBooks as a non-inventory item.
