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.

If you checked Default Export for New Inventory, the default inventory Cost of Goods, Inventory Asset, and Sales Income accounts in SQLink are used as the defaults for any new inventory items entered in SME.
