Enter Items in Inventory for Jobs

You can enter the purchase information for any stock item using the Purchases windows and then adjust inventory when you use the item. If you are using items for a job that already exists in inventory, you can directly access the Inventory Adjustments window.

From the Tasks menu, select Purchases.
Enter or select a vendor ID, and enter an invoice number for the purchase.
Enter the purchase information.

Note: You cannot buy a stock item for a job and apply it directly to the job because you cannot use an item that the system has not accounted for in inventory.
When the invoice is complete, select Save.
To assign the stock item to inventory, use Sales/Invoicing, or Inventory Adjustments.
