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 the SQLink defaults.

· As SME/QB Inventory – inventory items are synced and are maintained in both applications.

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.
