Editing GL Entries for SME Inventory

Inventory items can be maintained solely in SME and this setting is only for items maintained in SME, not for items in both SME and QuickBooks. 
<br>To configrue SME to correctly record the inventory accounting transactions in QuickBooks you must set the correct options in SQLink. Set the '''Use General Ledger entries for Default Material Item''' as shown in the image below. With this setting, SQLink will create General Ledger Account entries in QuickBooks when items are received on SME Purchase Orders (Debit Inventory Asset / Credit Accounts Payable) and when you invoice material in SME (Credit inventory Asset / Debit Cost of Goods Sold). These settings require that the default material item must be a Non-Inventory item. You can use the default established when SME/SQLink is installed, or you can set up an item of your own choosing, but it must be a Non-Inventory item.

<br>Using this option applies only if you keep your inventory items in SME only, not in both SME and QuickBooks.
